Herman Miller is best known for sleek office chairs and home furnishings. But a large and growing share of their business is in health care. And the company wants to make hospitals every bit as sleek and functional as the best modern office: Sleek, space-saving, with warm wood-grain accents. Goodbye clutter.

One of the designers leading this sea change is Gianfranco Zaccai, who's better known for designing the Swiffer. Zaccai designed Compass, Herman Miller's newest system, designed specifically for the manic pace of modern healthcare.
