Nelson Swag Leg Dining Table Round by Herman Miller. Designed in 1958 as part of the Swag Leg furniture series, the Herman Miller Nelson Swag Leg Round Dining table is lightweight, adaptable and beautifully functional. The roundness of the design implies seating equality and fellowship, but the major change from the traditional dining table is the addition of the Swag legs. The pressure tapered and curved steel tubing that forms the legs not only add of touch of modernity and lightness to the traditional dining table, it gives it a whole new look. The table has four distinct legs, but they are held together using the same two legs joined by a walnut stretcher as used in the desk and the work table: the difference is that the table uses two such devices, and arranges them in an X. This design keeps the legs of the table out of the sitter's way and prevents legs from bumping against the form of the table. The Swag Leg Dining table is also available in a rectangular design. Features include:Available with white laminate or walnut veneer top and walnut edge band.Four 16-gauge steel chrome-plated swag legsSolid walnut stretchersAdjustable glidesThe striking design of the Nelson Swag Leg Dining table works well with almost any chairs you pair it with, and holds its own in any decor. Herman Miller HistoryFounded in 1923 and recognized today throughout the world as an innovator in office and residential furniture design, Herman Miller has been ranked since 1986 among the top ten in Fortune Magazine's annual list of the 500 most admired companies. Their pioneering research into producing environmentally responsible furniture has earned them GreenGuard Indoor Air Quality certification for most of their products. Aesthetically, many of Herman Miller's iconic designs, particularly from the 1940s and 1950s, are valuable collector's items and on permanent display in museums such as the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Smithsonian Institution.In 1933, new furniture designs created by Herman Miller designer Gilbert Rohde exhibiting the smooth lines and unembellished shapes of the emerging mid-century modern furniture style were exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair. In 1944, Rohde's successor George Nelson designed such enduring icons as the Platform bench, and was famously responsible for teaming the company with such influential design artists as Alexander Girard, Isamu Noguchi and Charles and Ray Eames. Charles Eames, widely regarded as a genius in contemporary furniture design, produced one of Herman Miller's most successful products in 1956, the elegant Eames Lounge chair. In 1994, Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf introduced a new office chair called Aeron (derived from the word aeration, which describes how the mesh suspension promotes comfort), which became an immediate worldwide success and earned a spot in the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as well. Today, Herman Miller continues to attract world-famous designers like Jeff Weber, Jerome Caruso, the Studio 7.5 Design Team in Berlin, Yves Behar, Mark Goetz and many more.If the purpose of design is to solve problems, and the relationship between design and business is synergistic, then Herman Miller today continues to be in the vanguard of design as a fundamental part of strategic planning.
