Overview
Design by George Nelson, 1952.
By Herman Miller.
The solid wood Nelson Miniature Chest, inspired by Japanese design, provides lots of small compartments to keep wonderful little things. It is still made with hand-fitted drawers — the kind of craftsmanship George Nelson insisted upon in 1952 and that Herman Miller maintains with all the integrity of the designer's original specifications.
This 6-Drawer Chest includes a laminate top with drawers arranged in two vertical rows of three. Cabinetmakers hand fit each drawer for proper alignment and to ensure the wood-on-wood drawer glides operate smoothly. This stand alone case good, featuring 3/8" solid-brass glides at its base, can be perched on a counter or table top or left low to the floor. Available in several woods with laminate top and drawer pull finish options. Also offered with pedestal base.
Notes:
Nelson miniature chests are covered by the Herman Miller warranty for five years.

Designer: George Nelson
When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" — moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of."
Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as antihuman." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding.
Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design.
