Tour Day is devoted to the appreciation of modern architecture in the United States. Events focus on architecture + design of the Modern Movement, and are hosted by Docomomo chapters, partners, + leading voices in preservation. It’s the only national program of its kind. Each year has a different theme, and the tour takes place in October.

MillerKnoll Archives Tour – Holland, Michigan

Presented by Docomomo Michigan in partnership with MillerKnoll.

Docomomo Michigan proudly partners with MillerKnoll to invite you through the doors and into the collected heart of their heritage.

MillerKnoll, one of the world’s most influential modern design companies, brings together a collective of brands including Herman Miller, Knoll, Design Within Reach, HAY, Geiger, Maharam, Muuto, and NaughtOne. To preserve, celebrate, and activate this legacy, the company opened the MillerKnoll Archives in 2024 at its Design Yard headquarters in Holland, Michigan.

The 12,000-square-foot facility integrates exhibition galleries and extensive open storage presenting a chronological curation of more than 300 pieces of furniture from across the collective. Visitors on this 90-minute tour will experience Manufacturing Modern, the inaugural exhibition highlighting the role of Herman Miller and Knoll in shaping modern design through works by Marcel Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, Florence Knoll, Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, and Eero Saarinen.

With a collection of over one million objects, the MillerKnoll Archives serves as both a repository of modern design history and a resource for ongoing research and innovation.
