Design Year: 1958.

Right-sized desks. It's like they were made to fit today's compact electronics. Colorful cubbyholes at the back keep materials organized and at hand. One slot fits a laptop computer. Available in a White Laminate or Walnut Veneer top with solid walnut stretcher.

This contemporary classic desk is open and freeing of space without losing the structural integrity common to desks. The process of "swaging" (using pressure to taper and curve metal) proved the best way to produce the legs, which are 16-gauge steel and have adjustable glides. Nelson added solid walnut stretchers that bolt to the legs for a stable, durable base.

George Nelson

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.

YLiving 4 Star Ratings Beautiful and compact

This is the perfect desk for small spaces, with just the right balance of color to off-set the white desk top. The walnut trim is beautiful and assembly is easy. This is our second Nelson Swag Leg Desk (we have one in a different style) and definitely recommend it.

3D Intelligent

Herman Miller's 3D Intelligent back material is a seating technology designed for the SAYL™ Chair. The 3-dimensional mesh-like suspension material is stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge. The tension is greater in the transition areas, from the thoracic to the lumbar regions and between the lumbar area and sacrum. "Hinge points" allow these areas to flex and support the healthy, forward rotation of the pelvis. At the same time, less tension in other parts of the back encourages a full range of seated movement.

Y-Tower

Y-Tower is the primary support structure of Herman Miller's SAYL™ Chair. The Y-Tower retains tension, replacing the traditional frame of task chairs. It works like the towers from which a bridge is suspended and combines with a 3D Intelligent suspension material to provide frameless back support that hugs the user's back from resting through reclining, forward leaning and twisting motions.
