1994 | Herman Miller T.D. Collection

The T.D. Collection was so named by taking the first initial of its duo of designers: Tom (Newhouse) and Don (Shepherd). They collaborated with Herman Miller and Crate & Barrel to create a new home office furniture offering by Herman Miller that included solid cherry tables, desks, bookcases and storage units. The collection was sold through Crate & Barrel stores. “Most people don’t have the luxury of separate space for work, so we designed the furniture to fit seamlessly into home interiors.” –D.A.S.

“I wanted this furniture to have a certain familiarity, a connection to fine wood furniture.” –Don Shepherd

“I wanted to give people all the functional aspects of office furniture in a product they could understand and arrange themselves.” –Tom Newhouse
