Terrific storage bench
By: Abu A., Homeowner (California)
Attractive, well-made, and capacious. I would have preferred it to have been manufactured in the United States, as opposed to China, but I guess that's up to Herman Miller.

A gifted combo storage-bench from Herman Miller
By: Ruth, Homeowner (San Francisco)
If you like clean modern design, need more storage space (who doesn't...) and want a piece which blends easily in a variety of rooms, look no further than the Cognita Storage Bench. The bench ingeniously combines space for hanging folders or other objects with drawers, while being comfortable as a seating space when needed. A recent purchase, but already an indispensable item in my home. Highly recommended.

Modern functionality
By: Kimberly M., Homeowner (Kansas City, MO)
Have had this about 2 weeks now and we love it. The cushion is actually comfortable and not flimsy, and the storage is magnificent. Looks beautiful.
Designer: Jeff Weber
As a kid, Jeff Weber was fascinated by the way things worked. "I was always tinkering — either building things or tearing them apart," he says. Watching his mechanical talents develop, his grandfather suggested that he consider becoming an industrial designer. Once he learned more, "I never really thought about doing anything else," recalls Weber.
Today he uses his considerable talents to improve the human condition by designing products that enhance people's lives — at home and at work. "There should always be a human benefit associated with whatever it is we're designing," he explains. "It's all about the experience, stimulating a person's senses in a positive or beneficial way."
With an emphasis on results, an integral and important aspect in his design process is research. When designing Herman Miller's Embody chair, for example, Weber and the Herman Miller team spent nearly two years talking with experts in various fields of medicine, from specialists in upper-extremity conditions to optometrists and neurologists. It was all in an effort to gain a real understanding of what it takes "to support a body in space in a healthful way and enable motion at the same time," he says. Studio Weber + Associates is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
