Herman Miller has launched the New Mexico Collection, a limited-edition furniture line inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's desert home in Abiquiú, New Mexico. Created in collaboration with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the collection includes the Eames Wire Chair Low Base (300 pieces, $1,995) and the Girard Snake Table (100 pieces, $895), both drawing on O'Keeffe's friendship with textile designer and architect Alexander Girard. The chair reimagines a prototype gifted to O'Keeffe by Charles and Ray Eames, while the table is based on a never-produced Girard design from the 1950s.

eames house restored reopened 2670603

The Eames House, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in the late 1940s in Los Angeles's Pacific Palisades, has reopened after a six-month closure due to smoke damage from the January 2025 wildfires. The property was saved from destruction partly because hundreds of surrounding trees were removed in 2024. The restoration has expanded visitor access, opening the studio for the first time, which will host exhibitions on the house's evolution and contemporary design influences. The first exhibition may focus on community rebuilding after the fires.
