	title of this thread your message It would be great to find out all we could on George Nelson. I have all the books on him and read a lot but there is still a lot out there that we do not know about, like how the bookends got started and the fireplace holders, He was a fascinating man, and picked at a time when Herman Miller was in dire need of a director after the untimely death of Gibert Rhode, Nelson was a accomplished artist, and a philosopher and architect who really never developed any projects, I think he really had a good thing going with the GNA office and the ability to somewhat take advantage of young talent looking for a break. Norman Churner George Mulhauser, Irvin Harper just to name three and you know there are others out there, Of all the designers he is my favorite and i own most of his great pieces, from the marshmellow, lots of his clocks ,slated bench, tables, cabinets, and Coconut chair, He truly was the best even if he really did not design all of the stuff but knew how to get associated with it, a lucky fellow yes, associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
