GEORGE NELSON (United States, 1908 - 1986) for HERMAN MILLER. Pair of armchairs 5681, 1960s. Steel frame. Fabric upholstery. Original condition with hardened foam. It is recommended to reupholster. Measurements: 72 x 80 x 82 cm; 40 cm (seat height). This pair of armchairs is in the midcentury design of the sixties, with a metal frame that houses soft seats and backrests. The design is fully modern but still conceived through dialogue with classic furniture. Worthy continuators of the international style. George Nelson graduated in architecture from Yale University (1928), and later studied art in Rome. He specialized in industrial, interior and exhibition design, and was, along with Charles and Ray Eames, one of the founding fathers of American modernism. While in Italy he traveled the length and breadth of Europe, meeting a number of pioneers of the modern movement, including Mies van der Rohe. In 1935 he joined the editorial staff of "Architectural Forum", a magazine of which he would first become associate editor until 1943, and then editorial advisor until 1949. During this period he worked with Frank Lloyd Wright on a special issue of the magazine, which marked Wright's return to the scene at the time. Nelson defended, sometimes fiercely, the principles of the modern movement, even irritating many of his colleagues who, as industrial designers, made, according to Nelson, too many concessions to the commercial forces of industry. The American believed that the work of a designer should serve to improve the world because, in his view, nature is already perfect, and man spoiled it by creating things that did not really follow natural rules. In 1945 Nelson began working for the firm Herman Miller, and it was then that he really began to design furniture, occupying the position of design director. That same year Nelson's first collection for the firm was published, beginning a collaboration that would result in some of the most famous furniture designs of the 20th century. Today his designs can be seen in the Vitra Museum of Design (he began collaborating with the firm in 1957) and the MoMA in New York, among many other public and private collections.

Desk, mid 20th century design. Rosewood. Needs refinishing. Measurements: 76 x 152 x 85 cm. Desk made entirely of rosewood, with a design of refined shapes, regular straight lines and rounded volumes, which contrast expressively with the beautiful natural grain of the wood, with sinuous, organic lines. It consists of a rectangular, sharp-edged tabletop, raised on two side frames made up of two straight, rectangular legs, joined together by a lower footing of the same shape, and a half-height crossbar, which reinforces the construction. The back of the cabinet is closed with three doors, two simple side doors and a central one that acts as a hinged lid, each with an independent lock. Two drawer units are located at the front, on either side of the central leg compartment. Each side body has three drawers with smooth, moulded fronts and a recessed handle, made from the same wood.

Estim. 800 - 900 EUR
