Considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of American Modernism, George Nelson produced some of the twentieth century's most highly regarded pieces of industrial furniture. After receiving bachelor's degrees in Architecture and Fine Arts from Yale in 1931, Nelson lived in Rome and traveled throughout Europe where he met many of the modernist pioneers. In the 1940s he collaborated with many distinguished designers such as Ray and Charles Eames, Harry Bertoia, Richard Schultz, Donald Knorr and Isamu Noguchi.
