George Nelson – Design Legend
George Nelson was born in the United States in 1908. He studied architecture at Yale University. From 1932 to 34, he continued his studies thanks to a scholarship at the American Academy in Rome, so he came into contact with modernist buildings and designers in Europe.
In the 1940s, Nelson became Herman Miller’s design director. This business position made him something of a key figure in American design. He designed furniture for living rooms and office areas and brought well-known design names such as Charles & Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, and Alexander Girard to the furniture manufacturer. In the year 1957, Vitra founder Willi Fehlbaum signed the first license agreement with Herman Miller for furniture production in Europe, and a close friendship developed between him and George Nelson. This connection resulted in numerous creative designs that are now among the absolute classics of modern design history.
