| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. Refer to Note 14 for the disclosures related to this adoption. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of November 30, 2013 In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists," which defines the presentation requirements of an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. |

| Acquisitions and Divestitures [Text Block] | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES China Manufacturing and Distribution Acquisition On September 30, 2013, the company acquired certain assets from Dongguan Sun Hing Steel Furniture Factory Ltd (DGSH) which together, constituted the acquisition of a business. The acquired business is a manufacturing and distribution operation in Dongguan, China. Subject to the finalization of certain post-closing adjustments, consideration transferred to acquire the net assets of DGSH consisted of $8.0 million in cash, of which $5.9 million was paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The final payment is expected to be made in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Maharam Acquisition On April 23, 2013, the company entered into an agreement to purchase Maharam Fabric Corporation (Maharam), a New York-based, global designer and provider of high quality interior textiles for commercial, healthcare, and residential interiors. The company pursued the acquisition of Maharam in order to reinforce and accelerate Herman Miller’s Specialty and Consumer initiative and support further opportunities in commercial markets. The company closed the transaction on April 29, 2013 for consideration of $155.8 million, and the company estimates it will receive future tax benefits with a present value of approximately $20 million. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Maharam on April 29, 2013. There have been no fair value adjustments since the date of acquisition through the end of the second quarter. The allocation of the purchase price is still considered preliminary and is based upon valuation information available and estimates made at April 29, 2013. The company is still finalizing information related to the valuation of intangible assets, deferred income taxes and goodwill as well as the allocation of the goodwill among its reportable business segments, and expects to finalize these matters within the measurement period, which is currently expected to remain open into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
The goodwill stemming from the transaction in the amount of $80.7 million was preliminarily recorded as "Goodwill" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and allocated to the North American Furniture Solutions and the Specialty and Consumer reportable segments. The amounts were allocated based on the expected synergies to be realized by the reportable segments that will benefit from combining the operations of Maharam into the company. The goodwill amounts allocated to the reportable segments were as follows:
Intangible assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Maharam were preliminarily valued at $42.4 million. These amounts are reflected in the values presented in the table below:
The following table provides net sales and results of operations from the Maharam acquired businesses included in the company’s results since the April 29, 2013 acquisition. Included in the results for the six months ended November 30, 2013 from Maharam was an increase in cost of sales of $1.4 million related to the fair value step-up of inventories acquired. The increase in cost of sales related to the fair value step-up of inventories acquired for the three months ended November 30, 2013 was zero. For the period beginning on the acquisition date and ending on June 1, 2013, the amount of the increase in cost of sales related to the fair value step-up of inventories acquired was $0.7 million.
Divestitures During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the company completed the sale of one wholly-owned contract furniture dealership in Arkansas. The effect of this transaction on the company's consolidated financial statements was not material. The company also completed the sale of one wholly-owned contract furniture dealership in Oregon during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effect of this transaction on the company's consolidated financial statements was also not material. |

The company contributed a total of $48.6 million in cash to these plans during the second quarter in order to cover the remaining unfunded liabilities. Plan participants received vested benefits from the plan assets by electing either a lump sum distribution, roll-over contribution to other 401(k) or individual retirement plans, or an annuity contract with a qualifying third-party provider. These payments resulted in the settlement of the primary domestic defined benefit plans, thus relieving the company of any further obligation. In connection with the termination of the primary domestic defined benefit plans, settlement charges of $158.2 million, before tax, were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The settlement expenses included the pre-tax reclassifications of actuarial gains and losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $137.7 million, cash contributions to the plan of $48.6 million, net of the outstanding pension plan liability prior to settlement. Cost of goods sold included $49.3 million of the settlement expense, while $108.9 million of the expense was included in operating expenses. Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs

| Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS).
Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to certain key employees of the company are included in the denominator for diluted EPS. Each restricted stock unit represents one equivalent share of the company's common stock to be awarded, free of restrictions, after the vesting period. However, these units do not entitle participants to the rights of shareholders of common stock, such as voting rights, and they are forfeitable at all times prior to the vesting date. Dividend-equivalent awards are credited and accumulate quarterly and are forfeitable at all times until vested. The company has certain share-based payment awards that meet the definition of participating securities. The company has evaluated the impact on EPS of all participating securities under the two-class method, noting the impact on EPS was immaterial. |

| Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
| Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The company's stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012 was $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The related income tax benefit was $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three month periods ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012, respectively. For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012, compensation costs were $5.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The related income tax effect for the respective six month periods was $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012 has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, as it is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience. Stock Option Plans The company has stock option plans under which options to purchase the company's stock are granted to employees and non-employee directors and officers at a price not less than the market price of the company's common stock on the date of grant. Under the current award program, all options become exercisable between one year and three years from date of grant and expire ten years from date of grant. Most options are subject to graded vesting with the related compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. Employee Stock Purchase Program Under the terms of the company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 4 million shares of authorized common stock were reserved for purchase by plan participants at 85 percent of the market price. The company recognizes pre-tax compensation expense related to the market value discount. Restricted Stock Grants The company periodically grants restricted common stock to certain key employees. Shares are granted in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a shareholder, subject to certain restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. The grants are subject to either cliff-based or graded vesting over a period not exceeding five years, and are subject to forfeiture if the employee ceases to be employed by the company for certain reasons. After the vesting period, the risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transferability lapses. The company recognizes the related compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Restricted Stock Units The company grants restricted stock units to certain key employees. The awards generally cliff-vest after a three or five-year service period, with prorated vesting under certain circumstances and full or partial accelerated vesting upon retirement. Each restricted stock unit represents one equivalent share of the company's common stock to be issued, free of restrictions, after the vesting period. Compensation expense related to these awards is recognized over the requisite service period. Dividend equivalent awards are credited quarterly. The units do not entitle participants the rights of shareholders of common stock, such as voting rights, until shares are issued after the vesting period. Performance Share Units The company has granted performance share units to certain key employees. Each unit represents one equivalent share of the company's common stock. The number of common shares ultimately issued in connection with these performance share units is determined based on the company's financial performance over the related three-year service period or the company's financial performance based on certain total shareholder return results as compared to a selected group of peer companies. Compensation expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value and the number of common shares projected to be issued, and is recognized over the requisite service period. |

For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012, the effective tax rates were 38.7 percent and 33.9 percent, respectively. The increase in these rates in relation to the prior year resulted from a shift in the relative mix of income and loss between the taxing jurisdictions. This change in mix was driven primarily by legacy pension expenses recorded this quarter, which resulted in an income tax benefit recognized at the company's U.S. income tax rate. The company had income tax accruals associated with uncertain tax benefits totaling $1.4 million and $1.5 million as of November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012, respectively. The company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits through income tax expense in its statement of comprehensive income. Interest and penalties recognized in the company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the three months ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012 were negligible. As of November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012, the company's recorded liability for potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits totaled $0.6 million. The company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits. Tax changes related to these audits, if any, are not expected to be material to the company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the company is no longer subject to state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2010. |

| Fair Value and Investment Information [Text Block] | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following describes the methods the company uses to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, which have not significantly changed in the current period: Available-for-sale securities — The company's available-for-sale marketable securities primarily include mortgage-backed debt securities, government obligations and corporate debt securities and are recorded at fair value using quoted prices for similar securities. Foreign currency exchange contracts — The company's foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using an approach based on foreign currency exchange rates obtained from active markets. The estimated fair value of forward currency exchange contracts is based on month-end spot rates as adjusted by market-based current activity. The following tables set forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2013 and June 1, 2013.
The company does not hold any level 3 investments. The following is a summary of the carrying and market values of the company's marketable securities as of the respective dates.
Adjustments to the fair value of available-for-sale securities are recorded as increases or decreases, net of income taxes, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method; realized gains and losses resulting from such sales are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within "Other, net". The company reviews its investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in earnings. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than its cost, the company's intent to hold the investment, and whether it is more likely than not that the company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the cost basis. The company also considers the type of security, related industry and sector performance, and published investment ratings. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If conditions within individual markets, industry segments, or macro-economic environments deteriorate, the company could incur future impairments. Maturities of debt securities included in marketable securities as of November 30, 2013, are as follows.

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ContingenciesAndGuaranteesDisclosure [Text Block] | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Product Warranties The company provides warranty coverage to the end-user for parts and labor on products sold. The standard length of warranty is 12 years; however, this varies depending on the product classification. The company does not sell or otherwise issue warranties or warranty extensions as stand-alone products. Reserves have been established for the various costs associated with the company's warranty program and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under “Accrued warranty.” General warranty reserves are based on historical claims experience and other currently available information. These reserves are adjusted once an issue is identified and the actual cost of correction becomes known or can be estimated.
Guarantees The company is periodically required to provide performance bonds in order to do business with certain customers. These arrangements are common and generally have terms ranging between one and three years. The bonds are required to provide assurances to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. The bonds are provided by various bonding agencies; however, the company is ultimately liable for claims that may occur against them. As of November 30, 2013, the company had a maximum financial exposure related to performance bonds totaling approximately $10.3 million. The company has no history of claims, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to pay under any of these arrangements. The company also believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the company's financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of November 30, 2013 and June 1, 2013. The company has entered into standby letter of credit arrangements for the purpose of protecting various insurance companies against default on the payment of certain premiums and claims. A majority of these arrangements are related to the company's wholly-owned captive insurance company. As of November 30, 2013, the company had a maximum financial exposure from these standby letters of credit totaling approximately $9.7 million. Of this amount, approximately $7.3 million is considered usage against the company's revolving credit facility. The company has no history of claims, nor is it aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the company's financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of November 30, 2013 and June 1, 2013. Contingencies The company leases a facility in the U.K. under an agreement that expired in June 2011, and the company is currently leasing the facility on a month-to-month basis. Under the terms of the lease, the company is required to perform the maintenance and repairs necessary to address the general dilapidation of the facility. The ultimate cost of this provision to the company is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the future use of the facility by the lessor and whether the company chooses and is permitted to renew the lease term. The company has estimated the cost of these maintenance and repairs to be between $0 million and $3.0 million, depending on the outcome of future plans and negotiations. As a result, an estimated liability of $1.4 million and $1.3 million was recorded under the caption “Other accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 30, 2013, and June 1, 2013, respectively. The company is also involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not materially affect the company's consolidated financial statements. |

| Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | DEBT During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the company entered into an amendment and restatement of the syndicated revolving line of credit, which provides the company with up to $150 million in revolving variable interest borrowing capacity and includes an "accordion feature" allowing the company to increase, at its option and subject to the approval of the participating banks, the aggregate borrowing capacity of the facility by $75 million. The facility expires in November 2016 and outstanding borrowings bear interest at rates based on the prime rate, federal funds rate, LIBOR, or negotiated rates as outlined in the agreement. Interest is payable periodically throughout the period if borrowings are outstanding. As of November 30, 2013 and June 1, 2013, total usage against this facility was $7.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, all of which related to outstanding letters of credit.

| Restructuring Charges [Abstract] | |
| Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT ACTIVITIES Due to the acquisition of a manufacturing and distribution operation in Dongguan, China in the second quarter of 2014, Herman Miller has decided not to pursue the construction of a new manufacturing and distribution facility on property that it previously acquired in Ningbo, China. In connection with this decision, the company evaluated the fair value of this property and recorded an asset impairment of $4.0 million during the second quarter. This impairment charge was recorded to the "Restructuring and impairment expenses" line item within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The impairment charge is included within the "Corporate" category within the segment reporting. In May 2012, the company announced a plan ("The 2012 Plan") to consolidate the Nemschoff manufacturing operations in Sheboygan, Wisconsin with the closure of the Sioux Center, Iowa seating plant. The 2012 Plan included the consolidation of the Sheboygan manufacturing sites into one location. This plan reduced fixed costs and operating expenses and improved operating performance and profitability. The 2012 Plan reduced the company's workforce in North America by approximately 70 employees. No additional restructuring expenses are anticipated in future periods for the 2012 Plan. |

| Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | OPERATING SEGMENTS The company's reportable segments consist of North American Furniture Solutions, Non-North American Furniture Solutions, and Specialty and Consumer. The North American Furniture Solutions reportable segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products for work-related settings, including office, education, and healthcare environments, throughout the United States and Canada. The business associated with the company's owned contract furniture dealers is also included in the North American Furniture Solutions reportable segment. The Non-North American Furniture Solutions reportable segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of furniture products, primarily for work-related settings for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America, and Asia Pacific regions, as well as the consumer business. The Specialty and Consumer reportable segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture, and sale of high-end furniture products including Geiger wood products, Maharam textiles, Herman Miller Collection products and the company's North American consumer business. The company also reports a “Corporate” category consisting primarily of startup business and unallocated corporate expenses including restructuring and impairment costs. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those of the company. Additionally, the company employs a methodology for allocating corporate costs and assets with the underlying objective of this methodology being to allocate corporate costs according to the relative usage of the underlying resources and to allocate corporate assets according to the relative expected benefit. The company has determined that allocation based on relative net sales is appropriate. The majority of corporate costs are allocated to the operating segments; however, certain costs generally considered the result of isolated business decisions are not subject to allocation and are evaluated separately from the rest of the regular ongoing business operations. For example, restructuring charges that are reflected in operating earnings are allocated to the “Corporate” category. The performance of the operating segments is evaluated by the company's management using various financial measures. The following is a summary of certain key financial measures for the respective fiscal periods indicated.
