Visually influenced by Japanese furniture, the Nelson Bench can function in many areas; a practical hallway bench, a window bench adorned with plants, a feet-up coffee table or even a storage unit. It’s also highly suitable for lobbies, cafes and other public spaces, produced to the highest quality, ensuring its durability and longevity.
The Nelson Bench, which is named for its creator, the inimitable George Nelson, is available in a choice of two colour-ways; the first is the traditional combination of a natural ash seat and black lacquered ash legs, while the second offers the complete unit coated in a black lacquer.
George Nelson read architecture at the renowned Yale University and completed his studies at the American academy in Rome. He was editor in chief of the 'Architectural Forum' from 1935 to 1944.
After having set up his own Architecture and Industrial design company in 1946, he began collaborating with Vitra in 1957. His pieces, such as the Coconut chair, his clocks and the Marshmallow Sofa, are regarded highly amongst the 20th Century design classics.
