No matter whether you are admiring one of his famous modern clocks or his appealing, innovative furnishings, it is clear that George Nelson was a gifted designer who used everything he saw and felt around him for shaping his inspiration. His shapes, forms and compositions were strongly stimulated by the life and times of the 1950's. His symbolic assertions helped promote a new casual and exciting road to modern design. His iconic designs echoed the "anything is possible" sentiment of the era, his interpretations of everyday objects. lamps, clocks, chairs were so truly new and unconventional, that they remain fresh and exciting even today.
His work for Herman Miller found him befriending other kindred spirits such as Eames and Noguchi and was a prolific and stimulating period for him. The pages of Herman Miller catalogues of the day are full of his designs, such coveted work as the Bubble Lamp series, Marshmallow Sofa, Coconut Chair, the list goes on. George had described his career as a series of creative surges, or "-moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of." |
