Title: Mid-Century Modern Executive Desk in Walnut w/ Cane Front & Flying Saucer Lamp by George Nelson for Herman Miller, USA, c. 1960's

About: Introducing an icon of American Mid-Century Modern design: an expansive executive desk designed by the iconic George Nelson for the legendary Herman Miller Company. Built from a mix of solid and veneered walnut and featuring a cane front as well as a vintage "Flying Saucer" desk lamp this impressive desk has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration process making it the perfect candidate for designers and collectors alike searching for an authentic Herman Miller 60's era desk that is ready for another lifetime of use.

George Nelson was an American industrial designer and is considered the founder of American modernist design. Working extensively as an industrial designer, architect, author, editor, and teacher throughout his prolific career Nelson would go on to have perhaps the most successful and influential career in American design history.

Herman Miller was founded in 1905 as the Star Furniture Co. Initially the company produced furniture, especially bedroom suites, in historic revival styles. The company reformed as Herman Miller, Inc. in 1960 and was then led by architect George Nelson, who joined the firm as director of design in 1945. Over the next four decades, Nelson influenced Herman Miller through both his personal designs and the designers that he recruited, including Isamu Noguchi and Charles and Ray Eames.

With its timeless design, vintage "flying saucer" desk lamp and intricate details like the cane front, chrome handles and extraordinary woodgrains this instantly recognizable executive desk is sure to make a BOLD impression in any space it inhabits. With few, if any, Herman Miller desks like this one in such excellent condition available for sale in North America this desk wont last long. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.

Origin: United States of America

Proof: Signed

Period: 1960s

Material: Walnut | Caning

State: Full Restoration

Condition Details: This icon of the 1960s has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration and we think the results speak for themselves. All surfaces were hand-sanded and refinished with only trace amounts of wear such as veneer repairs, scratches and small pressure dings remaining (all of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said, this desk is in over all very good shape and is as good as it gets when it comes to a 60 year old well used desk.

The cane front is in excellent condition showing no breaks or tears whatsoever. All five drawers open and close with ease and the locks function exactly as they should with two keys provided. The vintage flying saucer lamp, though not original, also functions perfectly and includes functioning bulb seen in the photos. The original Herman Miller stamped chrome handles and legs show only minor surface scratches.

This impressive executive desk is ultra-functional, structurally sound and is ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to it's meticulous restoration process. Please view all photos and video for details on this executive desk's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
