Herman Miller Ardea Light

The Herman Miller Ardea is a new task light inspired by nature with minimal impact on the environment. Named after the great herons, Ardea displays similar versatility as the birds' necks that flex for hunting.  Ardea focuses on giving the user flexibility and personal control over their lighting experience.  Often with cluttered desks and a constricting shade, the user cannot light the area of the desk they need.  With Ardea's fabric-sheathed joints, the range of motion and light output is expanded significantly.  With an emphasis on low-energy consumption, green design and extreme motion possibilities, Ardea is an innovative mid-price entry.

"Organic form inspired by nature and designed to have minimal impact on nature through high efficiency lighting and green design."  --Mieko Kusano, IDSA, Sonos, Inc.
