Herman Miller Airia Desk
Herman Miller Airia™ Desk by Kaiju StudiosThe Lifework Airia Desk was designed by Kaiju Studios for Herman Miller. The Herman Miller Lifework Portfolio's Airia desk strikes a balance of simple function, timeless style, and quality craft. The elegant mill work of the walnut frame, tapered legs, and cork-lined trays exemplify the creative use materials and attention to detail. Thoughtful cable management is included. Herman Miller's Lifework Portfolio also includes a versatile media cabinet. In a home interior, the Herman Miller Airia Desk will certainly complement classic furniture as well as new styles.

The Airia Desk and Media Cabinet gracefully bring together the needs of work and the comforts of home, combining organization and performance with warmth and beauty. The Airia Desk features a primary work surface and an elevated rear peripheral surface, which encloses a space for cable management. In the large central drawer are three removable cork-lined trays. Herman Miller's Airia Desk is made of high quality materials, a solid walnut frame and peripheral surface, cast aluminum legs, and a laminated plywood work surface. Aria's timeless looks are built to last. The companion Media Cabinet has the flexibility to adapt to a number of uses, from display to storage to peripheral support. Airia is part of Herman Miller’s Lifework Portfolio, winner of the 2008 ICFF Editors Award for Body of Work.

Ayako Takase of Kaiju Studios, a multidisciplinary design creative consultancy in Providence, RI, says "There are lots of beautiful desks out there, but they don't support work and home functionality." Takese, Cutter Hutton, and Chris Specce of Kaiju designed Airia to do just that by building in "purposeful and intelligent features," says Takase, like the dual-level desk top, technology management, and natural materials. At the same time, says Hutton, "We designed it to be shown off and on display in your home. The millwork detail on the walnut frame, sleek legs, and elegant form let Airia fit well with both classic and contemporary furniture. It's timeless. We intend it to be a desk you'll keep for the rest of your life, and give to your kids."
