George Nelson (* 1908 in Hartford/Connecticut; 1986 in New York) studied architecture at Yale
University. A fellowship enabled him to study at the American Academy in Rome from 1932-34. In Europe
he became acquainted with the protagonists and major architectural works of modernism. He joined the
editorial staff of Architectural Forum in 1935, where he was employed until 1944. A programmatic
article on residential building and furniture design, published in Architectural Forum by Nelson in
1944, attracted the attention of D.J. DePree, head of the furniture company Herman Miller. Shortly
after this, George Nelson assumed the position of design director at Herman Miller. Remaining there
until 1972, he became a key figure of American design, also convincing the likes of Charles and Ray
Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard to work for Herman Miller. From 1946 onwards George Nelson
also ran his own design office, creating numerous products that are now regarded as icons of mid-century
modernism, including his Coconut Chair, Marshmallow Sofa and Home Desk. Additionally, Nelson's range
of clocks such as Sunburst Clock, Star Clock or Ball clock remain classics of their art. George Nelson's
collaboration with Vitra began in 1957 and following his death in 1986 his archive passed to the
holdings of the Vitra Design Museum.
