En savoir plus sur le livre
The year 2008 marks the centennial of George Nelson (1908-1986), a pivotal figure in American design during the latter half of the twentieth century. With an architectural degree from Yale, Nelson excelled as a designer, architect, author, editor, lecturer, exhibition designer, and photographer. As Design Director at Herman Miller Furniture Company for over two decades, he significantly shaped the firm's products and public image, leading to the creation of numerous modern furniture classics and innovative interior designs. His contributions extended to new concepts in domestic living and the modern office environment, influencing both home building and workplace design. Throughout his career, Nelson was also a discerning editor and prolific author, publishing a dozen books and over 100 articles and essays on design. This exhibition catalogue accompanies the first comprehensive retrospective of his work, featuring eight essays by German and American design historians that explore various aspects of his oeuvre, many presented for the first time. It includes an illustrated list of works, with most illustrations, previously unpublished, sourced from the Nelson Estate in the Vitra Design Museum Archive.
