John Geiger was born in Germany at the height of the
Bauhaus. With the world soon at war, his family emigrated to
Canada. He was only 14. After studying to become a
master cabinetmaker in Toronto, he set up his workshop and
in 1964 established the company that would become Geiger.
His mastery of craft was matched by his integrity in business.
Keeping his promise to a client meant everything to him.
To complement the shop’s custom work, Geiger began
developing standard lines of office furnishings, which
reflected the influence of German modernism: an absence of
Storage Units Lounge ornamentation, a willingness to embrace mass production
methods, and a harmonic balance of form and function.
Today, inspired by our founder, Geiger remains passionate
about woodworking and finely crafted furniture. Following
the example of Ward Bennett, the designers with whom we
work continue to seek beauty and timelessness in design.
And thanks to our affiliation with the Herman Miller Group,
our sharper-than-ever focus on the needs of customers is
matched by a level of service higher than it’s ever been
before.
