Simple, Sturdy & Sophisticated
By: Maria A., Homeowner (NYC)
I've been coveting this table for years, waiting till I had the budget (and the room) to own it. It's a very simple and streamlined design, perfect to fit in post-war apartments and houses. The wood veneer is incredibly rich and not at all like the "veneer" products of less expensive competitors. Assembles in about 30 minutes and looks great naked or dressed up! A+!
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.
