Description
This gorgeous George Nelson Home Desk from Vitra is as graceful as it is decorative. It has a fine and lavishly produced base in chrome which support the work platform. This has a white surface and is contrasted with compartment separators, supporting the upper surface, which are lacquered in bright colours. The whole desk is then framed in walnut. Underneath the desk surface are two discreetly placed slender black drawers with moulded compartments for paper, writing instruments, paperclips and stationery paraphernalia.
The Home Desk is one of George Nelson's design classics and though originally conceived as a ladies desk, today the Home Desk has many uses as a small work station for that super cool home office.

George Nelson
George Nelson was born in Connecticut in 1904 and went on to study architecture at Yale University, where he graduated in 1928. Nelson was one of the founders of the modernist architecture movement of the forties along with, Eliot Noyes, Charles Eames and Walter B. Ford - all of which he would later collaborate with. He became a highly regarded critic, author and commentator on design issues as well as his own exceptional creative talent. His Storagewall shelf system revolutionised the office environment and excited manufacturers Herman Miller who appointed Nelson as the company's design director from 1945-1965. Nelson also created other iconic designs including the Marshmallow Sofa and the Coconut Chair as well as a series of desk and wall clocks and series of Bubble Lamps for Herman Miller, now distributed by Hay. He died in 1986 but his memory still lives on as Vitra still manufacture his most iconic pieces under licence.
