Good design has a way of bringing people together.

For our second Western Workshop, we partnered with Bar Nuda for an evening of mixology inside the DWR West Hollywood showroom.

Guests crafted their own botanical cocktails, shared ideas, and spent the evening in conversation with fellow architects and designers. It was a chance to slow down, connect, and experience the showroom in a different way.

We've also shared a closer look at the evening, including the workshop, the showroom, and the furniture that shaped the experience.

How does architecture shape the way we relax?

The expanded Biboni Collection by Johnston Marklee for Knoll explores that idea through generous curves, sculptural volumes, and carefully considered proportions. New additions, including the Corner Sectional, Open End Sofa, Lounge Chair, and Ottoman, create spaces that feel inviting, comfortable, and beautifully composed.

What makes people stay?

Great workplaces create reasons to gather, connect, focus, and recharge throughout the day.

A welcoming café. A hospitality bar. A quiet library. A comfortable lounge. Outdoor spaces that invite fresh perspectives.

These environments create experiences people enjoy returning to, strengthening culture and bringing teams together in meaningful ways.

Our latest editorial explores Destination Spaces in our very own portfolio and the role they play in shaping today's workplace.

Great seating begins with understanding how people move.

For more than 30 years, the Herman Miller Aeron Chair has continued to set the standard for ergonomic design, supporting posture, promoting movement, and adapting to the people who use it every day.

Thoughtful design has a lasting impact.

Every space has a soundtrack. At Western, we believe sound is part of the built environment. It's why we've partnered with SoundBites to create a series of evolving playlists for our showroom, composed to support focus, conversation, movement, and the rhythm of the day.

The Summer Sound is the first in the series.

Color does more than make a space look beautiful. It shapes how we feel, how we focus, and how we connect with the environments around us.

In a recent article, MillerKnoll explores how thoughtful color choices can support wellbeing, encourage collaboration, improve focus, and create spaces that intuitively guide behavior. When architecture, furnishings, and finishes work together through color, the result is an environment that feels cohesive, purposeful, and human-centered.

It's a thoughtful reminder that great design goes far beyond aesthetics. Every color choice has the potential to influence the way we experience a space.

Demand is rising for spaces that support wellbeing, relationships, and a strong sense of place. In this article, Joseph White, Director of Design Strategy at MillerKnoll, explores the powerful role of neuroaesthetics in shaping these qualities.
