Herman Miller X Michael Ford
Michael Ford's Remixed Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is not just a furniture piece, but a powerful statement against racism in America. The chair's handwritten names of African American victims of racial violence serve as a poignant reminder of the lack of refuge and safety they experienced. Through this powerful design, Ford seeks to bring attention to the need for safe spaces for African American youth, a message that resonates more than ever in today's world.
During its tour across the country, the chair was featured in curated discussions with celebrities and activists. These conversations aimed to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles of the African American community and the need to create safe spaces for marginalized individuals. By raising funds for organizations providing pro-bono design and construction services to victims of racial violence who are now confined to wheelchairs, the Remixed Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman goes beyond just being a statement piece. It is an investment in a worthy cause and a symbol of solidarity with those who are fighting against racism and injustice.
