RIT students collaborate with Herman Miller to create designs to enhance collaboration.

In Greek the prefix meta means “after” or “beyond.” In English, meta has a far more esoteric meaning—one concept, abstracted from another, that completes or enhances the original. Both have relevance to the philosophy behind Metaproject, a semester-long industrial design course offered by the Rochester Institute of Technology in cooperation with the Vignelli Center for Design Studies.

Metaproject helps students learn a problem-solving approach to design by giving them the opportunity to execute on a project brief. This year, Herman Miller issued a brief asking students to create designs that enhance interactions between people, tools, or technology in the workplace. A group from Herman Miller’s design exploration team—Daniel Rucker, Tony Rotman, Chris Hoyt, and Gary Smith—provided guidance throughout the course.

“Without such depth of insight from an industry partner, student output could be restrictive and too tightly programmed,” says Josh Owen, Metaproject founder and Professor and Chair of Industrial Design at RIT. “Herman Miller represents a kind of penultimate partnership. The rich history of Herman Miller’s involvement with designers… is a perfect fit for an educational challenge in an institution which values innovation by design.”

During the first half of the course, students learned about the history, theory, and practice of product design through the lens of Herman Miller’s problem-solving, human-centered approach to design. Then, with guidance from Owen and the Herman Miller team, students worked through the process of bringing a product to life, from ideation to execution.

This dual-component workspace offers a standing-height counter and a quiet place to retreat for more focused work (or potentially a nap). A multi-functional, moveable cushion supports a variety of postures and can be used for guest seating away from the desk. Relationship Focus: Human-to-Tools
