A graduate of the Cooper Union, Abbott Miller is a designer, editor, and art director. He is a partner in the New York office of the international design studio Pentagram, where his clients include the Guggenheim Museum, Harley-Davidson and The Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna.

The designs—Filter, Switch and Merge—are rooted in Miller’s typographic background and feature abstracted overlays of text. The award-winning Ink Collection for KnollTextiles was introduced in 2011. Beginning with “single drops of ink, [Abbott Miller] created hundreds of unique patterns to base his final three designs on," Fast Company wrote in a 2011 feature.
