This year, Design Days visitors have the unique opportunity to
interact and immerse themselves in MillerKnoll's innovative,
historied and holistic approach to sustainability. The

trials and tribulations of daily use, conducting some 2,500

height-adjustable desks to benching systems. Products don't leave
the Test Lab until they've surpassed industry guidelines and
standards—ensuring that products stand the test of time.
