8000 Series 3 Door Credenza, George Nelson, Herman Miller, 1960's
-
Description
This George Nelson for Herman Miller 8000 Series credenza features not two, but three sliding doors—a configuration so unusual we couldn't find another example online. At first, we assumed someone added a third door by mistake. Sure, the cabinet has three glide tracks, but we couldn't find another... So naturally, we had two custom sliding doors made to "fix it".
But plot twist: it wasn’t a mistake at all.
Turns out, the three-door setup is exactly how it was meant to be. With just two sliders, the middle section is basically useless—you can’t access the sliding shelf inside, let alone slide it out. Design fail. But, with all three doors? Everything functions beautifully, and the layout perfectly makes sense.
Still vibing with the ultra-minimalist two-door aesthetic? We get it. Style over function—I mean, I’m a girl who wears heels to estate sales. We’ll include our custom doors too, just in case you want to swap the look (see the photos for the 2-door moment).
The piece bears its original silver Herman Miller medallion label, found inside the right drawer—because provenance matters. It features its original white laminate top—it’s crisp, clean, and timeless. The walnut frame glows with a rich golden-reddish patina, and the minimalist aluminum legs keep things light, modern, and impossibly chic.
This is peak mid-century minimalism, brought to you by one of the 20th century’s most iconic design minds.
Pair it with:
Nelson’s own Action Office pieces, or icons by Florence Knoll, Paul McCobb, Arne Vodder, or Jean Prouvé for that clean-lined, architect-approved vibe. - More Information
