United States, 1950s
George Nelson designed this handsome pair of nightstands, model 4617, for Herman Miller's basic Cabinet Series. The tawny walnut cases have a right- and a left-facing hinged door fitted with two shallow shelves. Below the storage cabinet is a single drawer. The nightstands sit on ebonized block feet and feature expressive round walnut pulls with satin chrome inserts. We have a corresponding pair of dressers and a taller dresser or cabinet.
