At 1100 West Fulton Market, Herman Miller and Knoll come together under one roof, offering a seamless journey across both contract showrooms. It also features showrooms for DatesWeiser and Geiger as well as a refreshed Herman Miller retail store with complimentary design services and personalized support to help customers discover the right solutions.
