Segment Reporting, Disclosure of Entity's Reportable Segments [Abstract] |
Operating Segments | Operating Segments Effective as of May 30, 2021, the beginning of fiscal year 2022, the Company implemented an organizational change that resulted in a change in the reportable segments. The Company has restated historical results to reflect this change. Below is a summary of the change in reportable segments. •The activities related to the manufacture and sale of furniture products direct to consumers and to third-party retailers that previously resided within the International Contract segment moved to the Global Retail segment. •The operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products for work-related settings in Latin America moved from the International Contract segment to the North America Contract segment to form a new Americas Contract segment. •Operations of the DWR Contract business, a division of DWR that sells design furnishings and accessories for use in work-related settings moved into the Americas Contract segment. The Company's reportable segments now consist of Americas Contract, International Contract, Global Retail, and Knoll. Intersegment sales are eliminated within each segment, with the exception of sales to and from the Knoll segment, which are presented as intersegment eliminations. The Americas Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture and textile products for work-related settings, including office, healthcare, and educational environments, throughout North America and South America. The business associated with the Company's owned contract furniture dealers is also included in the Americas Contract segment. In addition to the Herman Miller brand and the DWR Contract business, this segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of high-craft furniture products and textiles including Geiger wood products, Maharam textiles, Herman Miller Healthcare, naughtone and Herman Miller Collection products. The International Contract segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products, primarily for work-related settings in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia-Pacific. The Global Retail segment includes operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, DWR studios and HAY stores. The Knoll segment includes the global operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products within the Knoll constellation of brands. Intersegment sales are eliminated within each segment, with the exception of sales to and from the Knoll segment, which are presented as intersegment eliminations. The Company also reports a “Corporate” category consisting primarily of unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and acquisition-related costs. Management regularly reviews corporate costs and believes disclosing such information provides more visibility and transparency regarding how the chief operating decision maker reviews results of the Company. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those of the Company. The following is a summary of certain key financial measures for the respective periods indicated:

Many of the Company's assets, including manufacturing, office and showroom facilities, support multiple segments. For that reason, it is impractical to disclose asset information on a segment basis.
