Keeping it Green
Keeping with Herman Miller’s long-standing tradition of being ecologically responsible, both products were designed with environmentally friendly elements. Babble utilizes pure materials devoid of inks and paints and the plastic parts are designed for easy disassembly. The parts are molded with information on recycling; an important feature as many new technology products are quickly replaced. The C2 Climate Control is an energy efficient product. It uses less than 1.5 amps of AC current, or approximately 90 percent less energy than a typical space heater.
Babble and C2 have won several awards, including:
- Best of NeoCon: Babble 2005, C2 Climate Control 2007
- Best of Innovations Award from the Consumer Electronics Association
- Esquire magazine's "America's Best & Brightest" list for 2005
- Cited in New York Times Magazine's 5th Annual "Year in Ideas"
- IDEA Finalist 2008
- 2006 Good Design
