AZ Awards 2026 Finalist in Design: Pawson Drift Collection

When one of architecture’s great minimalists turns his attention to seating, proportion and material honesty do the heavy lifting. The Pawson Drift collection from Herman Miller — made with over 80 per cent natural, plant-derived components — wraps generous down-and-latex cushions within a rectilinear white oak or walnut frame, seamlessly melding softness with structure, warmth with restraint. A concealed textile suspension system ensures continuous ergonomic support for sitting, lounging or napping. The occasional tables elevate the floating quality further still, their stone or wood tops appearing to hover thanks to a precisely engineered shadow gap between two horizontal planes.
