	title of this thread your message On 29th of May this year George Nelson celebrated his 100th birthday. For this reason Vitra is re-editing the Pretzel Chair - one of Nelson's best-known designs - in an anniversary edition limited to 1000 copies. (with only 75 available to the UK market). The numbered edition of the Pretzel Chair is produced in high-quality palisander veneer and isaccompanied by a comprehensive edition folder. In the 1950s at his New York office George Nelson developed a series of individual and striking seating furniture, some of which have long since become classics. In 1952, even before the wellknown Coconut Chair or the Marshmallow Sofa, he designed a chair from moulded plywood, initially called simply the 'Laminated Chair'. It was the bold, elegant lines of the back and arm rests that gave the chair its nickname, the 'Pretzel Chair'. Like the rests and their mountings, the four legs of the chair which cross beneath the seat are also made of laminated wood. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
