Beautifully designed slatted platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller is a classic design.
Introduced in 1946, the Nelson platform bench remains a landmark of modern design. The clean lines reflect designer George Nelson's architectural background and his insistence on what he called "honest" design - making an honest visual statement about an object's purpose.
The bench serves as a multipurpose display and resting place in offices, public areas, and homes. The bench is made of solid maple slats, which are spaced to let air and light through, and sealed with a clear-coat finish. The legs are ebonized and finger-jointed for superior strength.
