George Nelson - design legend

George Nelson was born in the USA in 1908. He studied architecture at Yale University. From 1932-34, he was able to continue his studies at the American Academy in Rome thanks to a scholarship, which brought him into contact with modernist buildings and designers in Europe.

In the 1940s, Nelson became the design director of Herman Miller. This position made him a key figure in American design. He not only designed furniture for the home and office, but also brought well-known names such as Charles & Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard to the manufacturer. in 1957, Vitra founder Willi Fehlbaum signed the first licence agreement with Herman Miller for furniture production in Europe and a close friendship developed.

Numerous designs emerged from this relationship, which today are among the absolute classics of modern design history.
