George Nelson Basic Series 3 Drawer Dresser in Walnut

Creator: George Nelson -Herman Miller
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
A refined example from George Nelson’s iconic Basic Series for Herman Miller, this three-drawer walnut dresser perfectly captures the clean lines and honest materiality that defined post-war American modernism. The warm walnut case features a restrained, architectural silhouette paired with its most distinctive design detail — an unusual set of sculptural hairpin legs that lift the cabinet visually and give the piece a light, elevated stance.

The drawers are fitted with understated brushed metal pulls that echo Nelson’s emphasis on function-forward elegance. Inside the top drawer, the dresser proudly retains its original Herman Miller label, confirming its authenticity and heritage.

Equally at home in a bedroom, entryway, or modern interior, this dresser represents the timeless versatility of Nelson’s design philosophy — thoughtfully proportioned, beautifully crafted, and built to endure.
