A prolific author and speaker, his focus on the holistic nature of his field has influenced generations of designers. In like manner, his view of design as an integral component of a company’s overarching vision has had a lasting impact on corporate identity management. Nonetheless, he is best remembered today for the iconic mid-century pieces that were created for the HERMAN MILLER furniture company under his auspices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Hartford, Conn., Nelson studied at Yale University, graduating with degrees in architecture (1928) and Fine Arts (1931). He won a creative fellowship at the American Academy in Rome in 1932, which allowed him to travel in Europe. He met and interviewed such modernist pioneers as Ludvig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), Walter Gropius (1883–1969), Gio Ponti (1891–1979), and Le Corbusier (1887–1965), publishing articles in \u003ci\u003ePencil Points\u003c\/i\u003e, an avant-garde architectural journal, to introduce their ideas to an American audience. Upon his return to the US, Nelson became a writer and editor for \u003ci\u003eArchitectural Forum\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNelson’s views on modern living were further developed in his book, \u003ci\u003eTomorrow’s House\u003c\/i\u003e. The work introduced such innovative concepts as the “family room” and the “storage wall” (a built-in, recessed shelving system that took advantage of underused wall space) and was published in 1945. It so impressed the president of HERMAN MILLER, D.J. DePree (1891–1990), that he appointed Nelson as the firm’s Director of Design—a position he held until 1972. His unique contract granted him the freedom to work with and bring into the studio other designers (who were not always individually credited), allowing for a broad diversity of creativity that positioned the company at the forefront of mid-century American design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring Nelson’s tenure, the HERMAN MILLER catalog would include some of the most iconic home furnishings of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. Renowned architects and designers such as Ray (1912–1988) and Charles (19072–1978) Eames, Harry Bertoia (1915–1978), Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), Richard Schultz (1926–2021), Donald Knorr (1922–2003), and Don Chadwick (b. 1936) were recruited to contribute to the firm’s success. Nelson developed several influential office furniture systems during this period and continued to inspire modern design practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1947, Nelson founded a personal studio in New York City, which was incorporated in 1955 as George Nelson Associates. A true collective, it was successful in bringing together many of the top designers of the era to design for HERMAN MILLER under Nelson’s label. Among the most noted were Irving Harper (1916–2015), George Mulhauser (1916–2002), Robert Brownjohn (1925–1970), Gordon Chadwick (1915–1980), Tomoko Miho (1931–2012), and John Pile (1924–2007).

In 1984, he became a scholar-in-residence at Manhattan’s Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Nelson retired with the closing of his New York studio in the mid-80s and died in 1986.

Zeeland had been settled primarily by Dutch immigrants, many of whom had brought with them legacy skills in the crafting of fine furniture. By 1900, Grand Rapids and environs had become a hub for its production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1919, Star Furniture was renamed the Michigan Star Furniture Co., and Dirk Jan “DJ” DePree (1891-1990), originally hired as a clerk, became its new president. Along with a small group of local businessmen, DePree and his father-in-law, Herman Miller, purchased 51% of the company in 1923 and rechristened it HERMAN MILLER.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company had historically been a manufacturer of high-end, traditional-style home furnishings based on modified European designs. With the arrival of the Great Depression, DePree was forced to consider new products to survive in a shrinking market. In 1931, he was approached by the industrial designer Gilbert Rohde (1894-1944), who reportedly entered the showroom unannounced. DePree listened to Rohde’s ideas and, attracted by his straightforward approach, hired him to design a new line of furniture. Rohde speculated that the decreasing size of modern homes would inspire a demand for a smaller, simpler, and lighter furniture style that DePree referred to as “more honest” than that of traditional pieces. So began the transformation of HERMAN MILLER into the modern furniture juggernaut it would become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHERMAN MILLER debuted its new line at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago. In 1941, the company opened showrooms in Chicago and New York City. Under Rohde’s supervision, HERMAN MILLER entered the office furniture market in 1942 with the introduction of the modular \u003ci\u003eExecutive Office Group\u003c\/i\u003e (EOG).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRohde died in 1944 and was replaced by architect George Nelson (1908-1986), who joined the firm as its director of design in 1945. Nelson was to have enormous influence upon HERMAN MILLER, not only for his personal design contributions, but also for the talented designers he recruited to its ranks—Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), Charles (1907–1978) \u0026amp; Ray (1912–1988) Eames, Robert Propst (1921–2000), and textile designer Alexander Girard (1907–1993).
