Additional Information

Designer: George Nelson

George Nelson (1908-1986) was, with Charles and Ray Eames, one of the founding fathers of American Modernism. We like to think of George Nelson as the "Creator of beautiful and practical things". He studied architecture at Yale University, where he graduated in 1928, and then continued to study and obtain a degree in fine arts in 1931. George Nelson thought of a way to manage the corporate image and create graphics programs. He was one of the most heard voices on 20th century design and architecture in England.
