As a result, the iconic Herman Miller chairs popular during the pandemic are ending up in landfills. More than three years after the Covid pandemic sent employees home, office spaces in New York City are still only half occupied, the New York Times reported. As those deserted offices clear out, their tenants have had to decide what to do with the abandoned office furniture. Lior Rachmany, the founder of Dumbo Moving and Storage, told the Times his company has "never seen so many Herman Miller chairs." MillerKnoll, Inc., which owns the Herman Miller brand, told Insider in a statement that it expanded its furniture repurposing program in May.
