Nelson, George
George Nelson (1908-1986) USA Born in Connecticut.
George Nelson studied architecture at Yale university, graduating in 1931. In 1932, while on a fellowship, at the American Academy in Rome he was awarded the Prix the Rome for architecture. As a design theorist and an architectural critic, he was extremely influential during the postwar years. He was credited with the invention of the integrated office system and the shopping mall. In 1946 he became the design director of Herman Miller and encouraged Charles and Ray Eames to design furniture for the company. A year later with Gordon Chadwick he formed George Nelson associates specializing in industrial design. His major furniture design for Herman Miller included the basic storage components, the comprehensive storage system and, with Bob Prost, the action office 1 system in 1965.
