SOLD REFINISHED 48" Nelson Platform Slat Bench in ebony!

As first described in my September 12 post,

this slat bench in ebonized wood, originally

designed in 1948 by George Nelson for Herman

Miller, is the ultimate iconic multipurpose

display and resting place.  It is one of the best

known images of mid century modernism. 

Measuring a handy 48" x 18" x 14" H, the

bench/table was originally meant to support

heavy storage pieces, making it functional as

well as beautiful.  Some minor touch-up is

included if you want:  the black finish is

chipped off in areas, mostly on the one leg.  And

there is a small piece of chipped veneer on one

corner of the seat frame.  Not a big deal to get it

fixed.

Signed.  Ca 1980's.                                     $725.
