The retrospective is part of Vitra’s celebrations to mark the 100th anniversary of George Nelson's birth. After studying architecture at Yale and in Rome, Nelson was appointed Design Director with the Hermann Miller Company in 1946; a position he was to hold for over 25 years and during which period he not only created some of his most famous pieces but also oversaw some of Charles and Ray Eames most creative and productive projects. And so while George Nelson sadly passed away in 1986 his inspiration, creativity and passion for good design remain with us today.
