Nelson 9-Drawer Miniature Chest with Pedestal
by Herman Miller
designed by George Nelson

At A Glance:
George Nelson was fascinated with all things Japanese, and that influence is clear in the design of his miniature chests from 1952. Offered in a variety of sizes and drawer configurations, they add artistic interest and a touch of history - as well as practical function - to the home or office. Walnut, white ash, or teak construction, with laminate on the top surface.

What's To Like:

• The Nelson 9-Drawer Chest has a beautiful pedestal and hand-fitted drawers that speak to Herman Miller's emphasis on quality construction.
• This miniature chest is a true tribute to Japanese design, with a fresh look that is perfect for the modern home.
• Everything in its place: each drawer is just the right size to hold all those small things (like jewelry) that otherwise clutter up larger drawers.

What's Not to Like:
You could pay less for a jewelry chest - but what you're really getting is a superbly finished showpiece by one of the mid-century's greatest designers, so that's also a consideration.

The Bottom Line:
The Nelson 9-Drawer Miniature Chest with Pedestal is beautiful, richly finished, and an icon of the mid-century modern era. It's immediately recognizable for the enduring quality of its design, and will be an heirloom-quality feature of any modern home.
