George Nelson Book by Vitra: Sunburst clocks, swag-leg armchairs: the designs of George Nelson have
come to define the mid-century modern aesthetic. In honor of George Nelson's
100th birthday comes this exhibition catalog for the first
comprehensive retrospective of the work of George Nelson, without question one of the
most influential figures in American design during the second half of
the twentieth century. Full color, extensively illustrated, this book
from the Vitra Design Museum is a fitting tribute to this seminal
figure. With eight essays by German and American design historians, the
publication deals with all of the areas in George Nelson's oeuvre, many of
which are presented here for the first time. The majority of illustrations, previously unpublished, come from the George Nelson Estate in the Vitra Design Museum Archive.
