The Office Chair Became an Empire: Inside MillerKnoll’s Modern Design Machine
A century of modernism now runs through one portfolio - from Aeron chairs and Knoll classics to textiles, healthcare rooms and home stores. The bet is that the future of furniture belongs to a company that can sell an object, furnish a building and explain why the room should work that way.
Intenseye
Intenseye is a New York-based enterprise AI company that turns existing factory and warehouse cameras into a 24/7 safety monitoring system. Its computer vision platform watches for unsafe acts and conditions - missing hard hats, people in forklift paths, blocked exits, ergonomic strain - and alerts safety teams in real time to help prevent serious injuries and fatalities. Founded in 2018 by Sercan Esen and Serhat Cillidag, the company protects more than 100,000 workers across 25+ countries and has raised over $90 million, including a record $64M Series B led by Lightspeed Venture Partners in 2024.
Invisible AI
Invisible AI builds edge-based computer vision systems for manufacturing floors. Its self-contained camera devices - each pairing an Intel RealSense 3D depth camera with an NVIDIA AI chipset and on-board storage - mount to existing factory infrastructure and turn manual assembly work into structured, cycle-level data without sending video to the cloud. Founded in 2018 by veterans of the autonomous-vehicle world, the company helps automakers and aerospace manufacturers such as Toyota spot cycle-time variation, ergonomic risk, and quality defects in real time. In 2026 it launched what it calls the world's first Vision Execution System, built on NVIDIA Metropolis and Cosmos Reason models, to run AI agents that analyze every production cycle at the edge.
