Nelson Open Cabinet with Drawer by Herman Miller
designed by George Nelson

The Nelson Basic Cabinet Series includes this beautiful, precise little cabinet with one drawer - the perfect place to stash mail, keys, or those sunglasses you're forever losing track of just when you need them. A flexible element of the Basic Cabinet Series, this piece can be mounted on the Platform Bench or given black-stained wood legs to stand on its own. Similar to the aesthetic of some of George Nelson's other work, the cabinets in this series draw on some of his influences in Japanese design, and the wood legs express that style. Choose from rift-sawn natural oak or light brown walnut veneers to suit your taste. The only time it'll draw attention to itself is when you use it; that's when you'll notice how well-crafted it is. The Nelson Basic Cabinet Series simply reminds us that less is more, and that Herman Miller makes some of the finest furniture out there. Despite its price, the Nelson Open Cabinet with Drawer is no exception. It's versatile, sturdy, and built to heirloom-quality standards.

George Nelson's vision was a living space full of things that had purpose and place but were flexible enough to change. In 1955 he stated, "People today no longer inhabit large houses with large rooms ... furniture has to fit these new dimensions comfortably and gracefully. Moreover, it has to be flexible." He created the Basic Cabinet Series in that spirit, and it has now been re-introduced by Herman Miller after being out of production since 1958.
