Blogs we love: Herman Miller’s Lifework

Herman Miller’s Lifework, a blog taglined “Where Life and Work Meet,” is among our favorite online destinations. At Lifework, creatives of every stripe — interior designers, artists, designers, writers — talk about their spaces, obsessions, must-have supplies, desires and dreams.

While much of Lifework’s content revolves around the working environment, posts tackle topics as diverse as tips for traveling with a laptop and contributors’ coffee habits.

And of course there’s paper: Check out this great piece on paper cut-outs by editor Cerentha Harris. The silhouettes are almost as desirable as the objects they depict.

All of this is served by elegant page design, layout and visualization. Highly recommended. [TB]
