| | Herman Miller - for the Home - Nelson Platform Bench |
 | | With its simple, spare lines, the bench is also a striking accent--a piece of art in itself that has become a sought-after collector's item for use in a living room, vestibule, bedroom, library, office, or public area. |
 | | Introduced in 1946 the Nelson platform bench was part of George Nelson's first collection for Herman Miller and still stands as a benchmark of modern design. |
 | | Like much of Nelson's work, the platform bench has clean, rectilinear lines, reflecting his architectural background and his insistence on what he calls "honest" design--that is, making an honest visual statement about an object's purpose. |
