Minimalism meets mindful materiality in this elevated new seating series
Legendary design house Herman Miller teams up with renowned British architect John Pawson for a new chapter in contemporary furniture: the Pawson Drift Sofa Group. The collection embodies Pawson’s signature soft minimalism, blending clean lines, warm materials, and a deep respect for proportion and light.
The pieces—offered as a left- or right-chaise sectional and lounge chair—feature bold, rectilinear silhouettes that intentionally move away from the softer, rounded forms of traditional Mid-Century furniture. Crafted in solid Nortwood and available in white oak or walnut, the frame’s recessed platform and wraparound structure give each piece a grounded yet airy presence.
Designed with intention, the Drift series champions sustainability without compromising comfort. Over 80% of its composition uses natural, plant-based materials—including cushions wrapped in responsibly sourced down and filled with plant-based latex rather than traditional petroleum-based foam.
Herman Miller also offers the collection in Greenguard™ Gold Certified fabrics like Rowan, Beck, and Isa, supporting better indoor air quality while delivering a refined tactile finish.
Now available online at the Herman Miller web store and through MillerKnoll contract dealers, the Pawson Drift Sofa Group is more than just a seating line—it’s a refined expression of modern living, rooted in timeless design and ecological responsibility.
