Herman Miller Used Box File Mobile Pedestal w Multicolored Pattern Cushion, White
Herman Miller has been designing furniture in Zeeland, Michigan since 1905, and its storage components were engineered to the same standard as the seating and systems the company is better known for. A mobile pedestal with a cushioned top is one of the most efficient pieces you can specify for an open plan floor, because it does two jobs in one footprint. Underneath, it is a proper steel filing pedestal: a box drawer for supplies and a full depth file drawer for hanging folders, on casters so it rolls out from beneath a work surface. On top, it is a seat. In benching environments where a colleague needs somewhere to sit for a short conversation and there is no space for a dedicated guest chair, that upholstered cap earns its place immediately.
This pre-owned Herman Miller pedestal is finished in white steel with a multicolored patterned fabric cushion fixed to the top. The pattern is a warm mix of tans, browns, and golds with gray and deeper accent threads woven through, which is exactly the right specification for a seating surface. A busy multicolored weave hides everyday soiling and wear far better than either a light solid or a dark solid, and it introduces color into a white and gray benching run without committing the whole floor to one accent. The pedestal has two drawers, a shallow box drawer above and a deep file drawer below, with recessed pulls flush to the drawer faces. Measurements are 19.5 inches deep by 15 inches wide by 23.25 inches high.
At 23.25 inches high, this pedestal sits at the perch height Herman Miller designed it for. That is low enough to roll cleanly under a standard 29 inch work surface and comfortable enough for a short sit without inviting anyone to settle in for the afternoon. The lower file drawer takes hanging folders on steel rails, so it does genuine filing work rather than just corralling loose paper. Because the unit is mobile rather than fixed, it also functions as flexible storage during a reconfiguration: contents stay put in the drawers while the pedestal follows the person to a new seat. The cushion is fixed rather than loose, so it does not shift or slide off when weight goes onto it.
