An icon of modern design since 1946, the Nelson™ Platform Bench now features a metal leg option. In keeping with the simple, spare lines of the bench, the four slim chrome metal legs feature thin cross supports and metal leveling glides. Solid maple, clear coated slats make up the classic bench seating above and are spaced to let air and light through. Like much of Nelson's work, the platform bench has clean, rectilinear lines, reflecting his architectural background and his insistence on what he calls "honest" design — that is, making an honest visual statement about an object's purpose.
he Nelson Bench with Metal Legs was reintroduced in 2010. Use as a bench for seating, a platform for displays or a low table. Also offered with Wood Legs, and as a supporting piece of Nelson's Basic Cabinet Series which allows the option to combine modular storage components with the Bench.
Since its beginning in 1905 as the Michigan Star Furniture Company and its 1923 re-branding marking the start of a new design era, Herman Miller has established an internationally recognized name for itself across the design industry. Boasting a wide array of pieces that range from being Mid-Century Modern iconic to being highly functional for the modern person, the company continues to remain at the top of the industry's list of notable and influential brands.
While Herman Miller lighting brings a practical eye to the modern workspace, the brand doesn't lose site of what modern design should look like. While a portion of their lighting assortment is centralized on multi-functionalism wrapped in a sleek design, the brand George Nelson Bubble Lamp Collection encapsulates the timelessness of Mid-Century Modern lighting that have withstood the test of time and continue offer a modern touch to any space. Between the variation of sleek profiles for Herman Miller's table lamps to the classy designs of the bubble lamps, Herman Miller does well to cover the range of lighting tastes between sleek functionalism to modern timelessness.
