Art of Play

Art of Play envisions a world where all people are inspired by their curiosity.

We believe that everyone has a spark within them that can have a positive impact on the world and fulfill their limitless potential, and we aim to ignite that spark. Our journey began when we were twelve years old and watched in awe as a street magician vanished a quarter right before our eyes. As magicians with a passion for sharing wonder, we built an emporium of wondrous products and experiences, a place to discover the magic of play and explore their curiosity.

Herman Miller Test Lab
Behind the Scenes at Herman Miller's Test Lab
Herman Miller's products are pushed to the limit—and then some—in their Michigan Test Lab, where you’ll find weighted bags dropped into the seat of a chair, casters spun for days on end, and machines that wouldn’t feel out of place in a repair shop. Herman Miller test their products beyond what the industry expects—or requires—because they want them to stand the test of time. WHY? It’s all about the warranty. Many of the products tested feature a 12-year warranty: 12 years, yes, but also for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
