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. The bench is constructed of maple slats with ebonized wood legs. Brand: Herman Miller. Original Price: $2305. Dimensions (in): 60W x 19D x 15H.
