Get ready for a hands-on, photo-worthy experience at "Have a Seat: An Exploration into Iconic Designs with MillerKnoll." This exhibition invites you to step into beautifully designed vignettes and become part of the scene. Each display is created to be immersive and interactive, offering a chance to not just admire but sit in the legendary chairs that have defined modern design.

Whether you’re lounging in the Eames Lounge and Ottoman, relaxing in Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Chair, or striking a pose in Ward Bennett’s Bumper Chair, you’re encouraged to interact with the iconic pieces and make them part of your own story. These vignettes are more than just displays—they're built for you to engage with, take photos, and share your experience.

Create your own DIY photo shoot as you explore these iconic designs and learn the fascinating history behind what makes them timeless. Don’t forget to post your photos on social media for a chance to vote in our hashtag contest—your snapshots will help crown the most-loved vignette, all while celebrating the incredible work of Philly’s design talent.

Chairs for the vignettes are provided by sponsors like CFI Workspace, Premier Environments, and Rarify, with immersive displays created by firms like Ballinger, CosciaMoos, DesignGym, Fifteen, HDR, JacobsWyper, Stantec, and StudioDecorate.

The exhibit runs from October 1-13, 2024, at the Center for DesignPhiladelphia. Bring your friends, your camera, and your curiosity—this is your chance to sit, snap, and celebrate the world of iconic design.
