    Miller Me! I have always loved Florence Knoll’s clean lined designs. She’s probably my favorite after Ray and Charles Eames of course.

    MILLER ME! Wow, what an awesome giveaway :) I really love Roy Lichtenstein’s art. I love his use of primary colors and tiny dots, and the cartoon-like quality in a lot of his work. My sister is actually working on a series of 3 canvas paintings inspired by Lichtenstein for my dining room right now. Thanks for another amazing giveaway!

    Miller me! I loooove anything Frank Lloyd Wright. I think it’s pretty cool that when he was young, his parents filled his nursery with photographs of incredible architecture, and he ended up doing such amazing work! One of his houses is down the street from me, it’s awesome to be able to walk by it everyday!

    MILLER ME!
    If I have to pick just one “classic designer”, I will go with George Nelson.

    I admire the simplicity of Mid-Century Modern design and the inherent beauty that comes with that. So much so, that I curated an exhibition of Mid-Century Modern design at the art museum I work for in North Carolina.

    I am not a curator for the museum on a full time basis (I actually install the exhibits), but I do love Mid-Century Modern design and wanted to share the things I had learned about mid-20th century modernism, as well as the designers of the NC State University School of Design (started in 1948 and now called the NC State College of Design). It was the forefathers of this school (Henry Kamphoefner, Matthew Nowicki, George Matsumoto, Buckminster Fuller, Edwardo Catalano, etc.) that really piqued my interest in this design aesthetic.

    In this exhibit I put together, I displayed George Nelson, Mies Van der Rhoe, Ray and Charles Eames, Cristian Dior, George Nakashima, Russel Wright, Herbert Von Thaden and Donald Lewis Jordan who made up Thaden-Jordan Furniture Corporation of Roanoke, VA, Eero Saarinen and many many others. Among the furniture pieces, there were several Herman Miller tags. I would love to win this drawing and begin to curate my own home with the best producer of design!

    I’ve always admired Coco Chanel. She’s the entire reason women dress the way we do/can today. I think she was an amazing and classy visionary! And I’m thankful she stepped outside the lines, because I sure love wearing pants!

    That coffee table would be perfect for my living room redo! Would love to have an original Picasso hanging in my home, but for now, I’ll have to settle for prints!

    Miller Me! Currently my style/taste is evolving so it’s hard to pinpoint a designer I’m in love with currently. Although I am really into the clean yet rustic swedish style right now :) I’ve always been a fan of the impressionists and as odd as it may sound, there is a french tattoo artist (xoil) who creates some seriously amazing pieces.

    Miller Me!!!!! I would love nothing more than a classic Eames chair and ottoman. My personal design inspiration is Marc Jacobs. From fashion to home I am constantly in awe.

    It is actually funny because I love Frank Lloyd Wright, there was a beautiful house by him in Michigan where I went to college (im a jersey girl woo!) and the Herman Miller headquarters was right there as well! I even got to do a marketing project for them.
