Designed by George Nelson, a founding father of American Modernism, the Nelson X-Leg Table with Laminate Top from Herman Miller is a product of the storied designer’s desire to create a beautiful and multipurpose table, one to be used for dining or studying alike. This piece shows Nelson’s environmental approach to design, of doing much more with much less, an approach that has influenced designers and architects for over half a century. Using uncomplicated lines, Nelson creates a sturdy and attractive base of crossing steel tubes. A laminate tabletop frames the legs with a clean rectangular shape. The layered construction of the laminate top produces a hard, durable surface with great scratch and stain-resistant properties. It’s a piece truly tailored for everyday living.
