George Nelson Model 0693 Sofa for Herman Miller in Cognac Velvet

Creator: George Nelson
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
George Nelson's profound influence on modern design is preserved through Herman Miller, which has maintained much of his innovative portfolio. His own namesake firm "George Nelson & Associates," produced numerous groundbreaking designs, including the Nelson Modular Seating System. From this collection, we highlight the "Model 0693" Sofa, a remarkable piece that, while no longer produced by Herman Miller, exemplifies the system's versatility and everlasting appeal.

The extensive range of Nelson’s Modular System includes sofas, loveseats, chairs, armless seating, end tables, and more, designed to accommodate spaces both large and small. The "Model 0693" sofa is particularly notable for its grandeur, stretching 8 feet in length and serving as a definitive example of Mid-Century modern design. Our restoration team has chosen a luxurious cotton velvet in Cognac for the upholstery, complementing the sleek, architecturally inspired brushed steel base.

At Object Refinery, we have meticulously restored the "Model 0693" Sofa from the ground up, adhering closely to George Nelson's design specifications. The restoration includes robust webbing, added structural supports, and high-quality seat foam, ensuring superior comfort and durability. This sofa has been revived and restored, ready for a new generation of use. Note: Due to previous restorations, this authentic George Nelson for Herman Miller design does not retain its original tags.
