Description
George Nelson Platform Bench in Walnut and Black Lacquered Base – Mid‑Century Modern Design

An iconic piece of American design, this George Nelson Platform Bench combines clean lines, natural materials, and timeless craftsmanship. Designed in 1946 by legendary mid‑century designer George Nelson for Herman Miller, this classic slat bench features a beautifully grained walnut top paired with a crisp black lacquered ebonized base.

Originally conceived as a multi‑purpose piece of modernist furniture, the Nelson Platform Bench works equally well as a coffee table, entryway bench, or as a display surface for books and decorative objects. Its minimalist silhouette and expert construction reflect the very best of mid‑century modern design — making it a highly sought‑after piece for both vintage design aficionados and contemporary interiors alike.

With its warm walnut slats and sleek black base, this George Nelson Bench is a timeless and versatile addition to any space, adding both style and functionality for years to come.
