Chicago-based Unbranded Design offers up-and-coming designers a platform for community feedback and development opportunites. They recently one-upped themselves by partnering with Herman Miller for an open competition to develop new furniture concepts meant to improve the increasingly unanchored day of the average mobile worker. The competition has been whittled down to 15 finalists, drawn from more than 400 entries, with the winner receiving $10,000 and royalties from possible production by the iconic brand. The top designs are collected here; take a look, then vote for your favorite until November 3, 2014

Here a few of the finalists.

The Branch Modular Office by Eric Pfeiffer, a multi-functional, multi-layer modular sofa system, was inspired by benches found in train stations and parks.

The Campground system by Mark Pylypczak, configurable in multiple layouts, includes these radial dividers made out of Corelam.

The informal Family Room system by Hines Fischer incorporates a variety of flexible touches, such as tables coated in dry-erase vinyl and cushions that can be removed for additional work surfaces, that accommodate quickly shifting work arrangements.

Sarah Kuchar’s swiveling First Class chair offers a none-too-subtle signal and buffer when one desires a more private environment.
