The Nelson™ Platform Bench brings George Nelson's practical approach to modern design into a versatile piece that works equally well as seating or a low table. Designed in 1946, its airy slatted top is crafted from solid wood, highlighting the natural variation and warmth of maple, walnut, or white oak. Choose between finger-jointed ebonized maple legs for a cohesive wood construction or slender chromed metal legs for a lighter, more architectural expression. Available in three lengths, multiple benches can also be ganged together to create a larger continuous surface. Optional upholstered cushions add softness and comfort while preserving the clean geometry of this enduring midcentury design.
