A handsome mid-century modern thin edge four drawer chest by George Nelson for Herman Miller with silver "apple-core" drawer pulls. Architect, designer, and writer George Nelson was a central figure in the mid-century American modernist design movement; and his thoughts influenced not only the furniture we live with, but also how we live. D.J. De Pree, the owner of the furniture maker Herman Miller, was so impressed by Nelson that in 1944 — following the sudden death of Gilbert Rohde, who had introduced the firm to modern design in the 1930s — he invited Nelson to join the company as its design director. Measures: 31" high, 34" wide, and 18.5" deep.
