“Every truly original idea seems to find its most important expression in a chair” – George Nelson

Most famous for his Bubble Lamps (affordable, starting at just $250), George Nelson was the design director for Herman Miller from 1946-1972 where he created some of the most well-known pieces, to this day.

 

 

The Coconut Chair, the Marshmallow Sofa,  Swag Chair and the fabulous Platform Bench, just to name a few.

                   

 

 

That quote, and the featured “Chair Timeline” featuring 38 Chairs from 1859-2011 is why I love this month’s Design Within Reach Catalog!
