CSS modular bookcase designed by George Nelson for Herman Miller. The system is an iconic modular shelving unit that embodies the philosophy of mid-century modern design by combining functionality, flexibility and elegance. The bookcase is designed with floor-to-ceiling vertical uprights in chrome-plated steel that support shelves and cabinets with doors and flaps, a chest of drawers and components in walnut wood.<\/p>\n
George Nelson, born in 1908 in Hartford, Connecticut (United States), studied architecture at Yale University.
\nIn 1935, Nelson joined the editorial staff of Architectural Forum magazine, where he worked until 1944. Shortly thereafter, George Nelson took on the role of design director at Herman Miller, where he worked until 1972, becoming a key figure in American design. In addition to creating home and office furniture, Nelson also persuaded designers of the calibre of Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard to work for Herman Miller.
\nIn 1957, Vitra founder Willi Fehlbauman signed his first licensing agreement with Herman Miller to produce furniture for the European market.<\/p>\n
