George Nelson was a renowned modernist designer who excelled in interior, industrial, and exhibition design. He pursued architecture at Yale University in the 1920s and gained recognition through his writings on design in various publications such as Architectural Forum, Interiors, and Fortune. Nelson joined forces with Herman Miller Furniture Company in 1945 as their lead designer, where he created a remarkable range of furniture designs and collaborated with esteemed designers such as Isamu Noguchi, Charles Eames, and Buckminster Fuller.
