Twist is Herman Miller's new, energy-efficient, eco-friendly undershelf LED light for systems furniture, providing value, simplicity, and personal control for office workers.
Twist demonstrates Herman Miller's leadership in innovation, performance, and sustainability by using fewer raw materials and providing a lighting solution that's efficient to operate and maintain.

"New technologies are driving a fundamental shift in the way people think about lighting," commented Behar.
"With LEDs in particular, their incredible efficiency, extremely small form factor and minimal maintenance requirements are changing the way people conceive of, design, and integrate lighting into the built environment."
