Here now, we round up a few of the homes we've featured that have wisely stocked their rooms with pieces from the Herman Miller catalog.

The pendant lamps are Richard Neutra by Kartell, the cushions are Marimekko, the dining chairs are by Herman Miller, and the "coffee table" is a trio of Alvar Aalto's Stool 60 by Artek.
