{"title":"George Nelson","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeorge Nelson (1908-1986) was one of the founding fathers of American modernism. After studying and graduating in architecture and fine arts at Yale University in 1931, Nelson travelled throughout Europe where he met a number of modernist pioneers. He was part of a generation of architects that found too few projects and turned successfully toward product, graphic and interior design. Later his work as a designer produced some of the best known \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aram.co.uk\/design-classics\"\u003eMid-Century Modern designs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Designed by George Nelson in 1955, Nelson himself compared it with a coconut cut into eight parts, and inverted the coconut’s colours: the plastic seat shell is white, while the single-section upholstery comes in a variety of colours. This return to the natural spatial shape of a shell enabled Nelson to create an inviting, comfortable armchair that offers users the freedom to sit in countless different positions. White fibreglass-reinforced plastic shell with upholstered seat available in leather or fabric.","brand":"Vitra Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215565271366,"sku":"708871","price":5890.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/9927\/9174\/files\/1765_12.jpg?v=1773873114"},{"product_id":"eye-wall-clock-walnut-and-brass","title":"Eye Wall Clock | Walnut and Brass","description":"With the diversity of materials used and their shapes, George Nelson's clocks embody the joie de vivre of the 1950s.
