Nelson Chest

Nelson Chest
Herman Miller proudly presents an authentic Nelson Chest, a testament to George Nelson's enduring fascination with Japanese aesthetics. Inspired by the intricate storage chests of Japan, featuring numerous small drawers, Nelson designed this exquisite piece shortly after his inaugural and subsequent visits to Tokyo in the 1950s. Reflecting his profound admiration for Japanese design, Nelson crafted the Nelson Chest (1952) to embody his belief in the harmonious relationship between the hand, material, and shape. Each delicately crafted chest is a manifestation of his passion for the balance, precision, and functionality that characterize Japanese design. This authentic Nelson Chest not only serves as a practical storage solution but also stands as a piece of art, celebrating Nelson's artistic vision and his enduring connection to the Japanese culture and craftsmanship.
