Neil Logan

Background

Neil Logan is an architect based in New York City. He moved there about a decade earlier, worked for Toshiko Mori and Edward Larrabee Barnes, and established his own practice in 1992.

Signature Style

He looks for the inherent qualities of a site and aims for work that feels tuned to its surroundings. He prototypes seating at full scale to test comfort, the pitch of the back and the height of the seat.

Notable Works

The Lispenard Sofa Group is his first furniture collection for Herman Miller, introduced in 2018 according to the company timeline.

Legacy

His furniture grew out of interior architecture projects, built-ins and custom pieces, and he argues that a sofa should be less about being new and more about fitting in and being comfortable.
