Vitra’s Nelson bench is a design classic from the 1940s developed by George Nelson, whose background in architecture is visible in the clean, functional design of the bench. The airy charm of the Nelson bench comes from slim pieces of ash wood with blank spaces between them. The pieces are held together with strong finger joints and supported by two black, angular legs. Besides a seat, the Nelson bench can also be used as a side table.
