By using common materials and processes in innovative ways, designer Mark Goetz achieves a crisp, clean aesthetic. The Goetz Sofa provides supportive comfort, and complements contemporary, informal lifestyles while echoing Herman Miller's classic heritage.
The Goetz Sofa employs a dramatic profile, with a complex miter at every corner that allows the molded veneer to wrap completely around the back and sides. With your choice of natural walnut, ash, cherry or an ebonized ash veneer, the leather upholstery meets the surface at a subtle, understated edge. Matte finish legs add contemporary appeal.
The traditional sofa is a wooden frame covered with padding and upholstery. Designer Mark Goetz turned that tradition inside out, wrapping his sofa in a striking molded wood veneer shell to create both a structural frame and a dramatic profile. Crisp, clean lines and ergonomic support- an instant Herman Miller classic.
The Herman Miller Goetz Sofa is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: GS100, GS100AV, GS100OU, GS100CX, GS100EN, GS100V3.
Molded plywood carries an immediate association with classic Herman Miller designs, and Mark Goetz, principal of TZ Design in New York City, skillfully and creatively incorporates this material in his sofa design. While traditional construction consists of a wooden frame with padding and upholstery applied over it, the Goetz sofa turns tradition inside out, since its plywood shell is clearly visible as both an aesthetic element and a structural frame.
The sofa's practicality extends to one of its most important features--comfort. Goetz conducted his own research and consulted with other experts to arrive at a seat depth that gives ergonomic support as well as room to lie down.
Mark Goetz People feel close to their furniture. They get attached. "So my goal is to design furniture that fits into someone's life," Mark Goetz says. "I want even office furniture to feel as personal as any object someone has at home." Of course, furniture must solve a problem, Goetz says, but that's only half of the designer's mission. "You could live with a good solution and not really like it. Objects should be loved and wanted as well as provide a solution."
Goetz has been designing loved and wanted objects since 1986, after his graduation from the Pratt Institute in New York City. In 1988, he founded TZ Design in New York and has created children's products for Marimekko, backpacks and totebags for Le Sportsac, table top items for Crate & Barrel, and crystal for Steuben. He also has designed a variety of products for the contract furniture industry, including tables, casegoods, and more than 60 chairs. His pieces furnish the corporate headquarters of the Chicago Bulls, the Kennedy Center in Washington, and the president's office at Harvard University.

Materials: Traditional sofa construction consists of a wooden frame with padding and upholstery applied over it. Mark Goetz turned that tradition inside out with this sofa. Its molded veneer shell is clearly visible as both aesthetic element and structural frame.
To achieve this look, Goetz incorporated an intricate miter that eliminates all but one seam where several planes intersect. Veneers wrap around the sofa's sides and back for a dramatic profile. 7" thick cushions and a seat depth that gives correct ergonomic support provide comfort. The result is a sofa appropriate for today's lifestyles that echoes Herman Miller's classic heritage.
