MillerKnoll, a global leader in design, is opening two new flagship locations in London and New York this month.
Incorporating contract showrooms and stores from across the company’s collective of brands, these spaces build on MillerKnoll's strategy of "creating world-class design destinations globally": "This approach provides our employees with inspiring workplaces and offers customers and the design community a convenient way to experience the latest in design for office, home and beyond," states the brand collective.
Andi Owen, CEO of MillerKnoll, continues: “This is truly an exciting milestone for our collective. We’re thrilled to showcase the full breadth of our design portfolio in such creative and innovative locations in London and New York.
"We’re taking the approach of locating brands next to each other based on feedback from design partners, dealers and customers. We look forward to the collaboration these spaces will facilitate as we continue to redefine modern design.”
Situated in Clerkenwell, MillerKnoll London is the first major MillerKnoll destination outside of the US. The location includes three floors spanning 1700 sqm of contract showrooms and retail stores from brands including Knoll, Herman Miller, and Maharam. A dedicated MillerKnoll Studio serves as a working showroom, bringing together the collective of brands, to showcase a unified approach for the modern workplace.
“We believe there is substantial opportunity to grow internationally,” says Ben Groom, president, International Contract at MillerKnoll. “The opening of MillerKnoll London is just one step we’re taking to offer an enhanced experience to our customers across the UK and Europe.”
Located in The Sans at 20 St John's Square, the retail stores and contract showrooms are now open. MillerKnoll London is also a short walk from the Muuto, NaughtOne, and HAY showrooms.
Meanwhile, now occupying 11 floors and covering more than 77,000 sqft, MillerKnoll New York is the first flagship location in the US to combine contract showrooms and retail stores from across the portfolio.
“MillerKnoll New York offers our customers, A+D partners, and dealers a convenient and unparalleled experience to engage with the best of our collective under one roof,” says Ben Watson, chief creative and product officer at MillerKnoll. “We’re immensely proud of this new design hub and can’t wait to use it as a forum to share insights, innovations, and ideas that meet our customers’ most pressing needs and inspire the future through design.”
