An iconic example of American Mid-Century Modern design, this original Nelson Platform Bench embodies George Nelson’s philosophy of clarity, proportion, and purposeful form. Designed as a versatile platform rather than a traditional bench, the piece functions effortlessly as seating, a low table, or a sculptural statement within a space.
This example features a solid maple slatted top, precision-milled with evenly spaced linear elements that create a striking interplay of light and shadow. The natural maple finish highlights the wood’s warmth and subtle grain variation, emphasizing the bench’s architectural rhythm and refined craftsmanship.
Supported by a matching solid wood base, the bench maintains a clean, cohesive silhouette while remaining true to Nelson’s original design intent. A discreet George Nelson / Herman Miller label is present, confirming authenticity.
