Vitra George Nelson Home Desk
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: George Nelson, 1958
A Design Classic for the Compact Workspace
The George Nelson Home Desk was designed in 1958 and originally conceived as a writing table — elegant, considered, and built with the same meticulous attention to material and proportion that defines Nelson’s best work. With its graceful chrome-plated metal base and characteristic colour accents, it quickly became one of his most recognised designs. Today it works equally well as a compact home office desk, a writing surface, or a considered piece of furniture in its own right.
The top surfaces are finished in high-pressure white laminate with walnut veneer side sections — a combination that balances warmth and precision. Shelf dividers in polystyrene add structure without visual weight. The swaged metal tubing base is chrome-plated, giving the desk its characteristic lightness of form.
Specifications
- Dimensions — W99 × D72.3 × H86.7cm
- Top — High-pressure laminate in white; walnut veneer side sections
- Shelf dividers — Polystyrene
- Base — Swaged metal tubing, chrome-plated
Pairs well with Vitra office chairs. Part of the Vitra Home Office collection.
