George Nelson Chest

George Nelson for Herman Miller Three Drawer Chest

Designed by George Nelson for Herman Miller, this compact three-drawer chest reflects the playful clarity that defined American mid-century modern design. Nelson’s storage pieces from the 1950s paired practical construction with bold color and simple industrial hardware, bringing a sense of optimism and modern living into the home.

This example has been fully restored, with the drawer fronts refinished in a lively yellow that highlights the chest’s graphic silhouette against its black frame and metal pulls. The result feels both authentic to the spirit of the period and freshly relevant today.

A cheerful and functional storage piece from one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century.
