George Nelson 

American architects and designers

Introduction: George Nelson (1907-1986) is considered one of the most influential figures in the United States. He was an architect, furniture designer, and product designer. He served as the artistic director of Herman Miller Furniture Company for 20 years, and together with the Eames couple, he shaped the appearance of modern American furniture. His most famous Marshmallow sofas and Ball Clocks are as colorful as candy, representing early Pop style furniture.

尼尔森家具设计中最有创意的可能是他对模数制储藏家具系统及模数制办公家具的研究，这两种系统都在世界范围内产生了影响。尼尔森对模数的钟爱也扩展到他的沙发设计中，其简洁的造型和自由组合的构思多年主导着家具市场，60年代尼尔森设计的家用椅、酒吧椅等都曾引起广泛的注目。

Character Experience

From 1941 to 1944, he taught in the Department of Architecture at Columbia University in New York. In 1946, he also served as a consultant for the Interior Design Department at Parsons School of Design in New York. In the same year, he was hired to replace Gilbert Rhodes as the Director of the Design Department at Miller Company until his retirement in 1972. During his tenure at Miller, he successfully hired many top-notch furniture designers to join the company, such as Charles Imes, making Miller one of the most influential furniture manufacturing companies in the world. At the same time, Nielsen began to develop his own design system. In 1947, he established his own design firm in New York, not only designing furniture, but also designing industrial products such as lamps, watches, and plastic products. After 1957, he began to pay attention to environmental design in architecture and was one of the earliest architects to study architectural ecology. As a renowned design critic, Nielsen's design philosophy has had a significant impact and often possesses outstanding foresight.

The most creative aspect of Nielsen's furniture design may be his research on modular storage furniture systems and modular office furniture, both of which have had a global impact. Nielsen's love for modulus has also extended to his sofa design, with his simple design and free combination concept dominating the furniture market for many years. In the 1960s, Nielsen's designs for household chairs, bar chairs, and more have attracted widespread attention.

创作特点

尼尔森家具设计中最有创新的可能是他对模数制储藏家具系列及模数制办公家具的研究，这两种系统都在世界范围内产生了影响。尼尔森的椅子和沙发设计也非常有创意，如1955年设计的“椰子椅”，如名称所示，其设计构思源自椰子壳的一部分，这件椅子尽管看起来很轻便，但由于“椰子壳”为金属材料，其份量并不轻。尼尔森另一件著名的家具设计是1956年“向日葵沙发”，该沙是发主体在此被分解成一个个的小圆的效果，其色彩的大胆使用和明确的集合形式都预示着60年人波普艺术（POP）的到来。尼尔森对模数的钟爱也扩展到他的沙发设计中，其简洁的造型和自由组合的构思多年主宰着家具市场，60年代尼尔森设计出的家用椅、酒吧椅等曾引起广泛的关注。

Creative characteristics

The most innovative aspect of Nielsen's furniture design may be his research on modular storage furniture series and modular office furniture, both of which have had a global impact. Nielsen's chair and sofa designs are also very creative, such as the "Coconut Chair" designed in 1955, as the name suggests. Its design concept is derived from a part of the coconut shell. Although this chair looks lightweight, due to the metal material of the coconut shell, its weight is not light. Another famous furniture design by Nielsen is the 1956 "Sunflower Sofa", where the sand is the effect of breaking down the hair into small circles. The bold use of colors and clear collection forms foreshadow the arrival of Pop Art (POP) in the 1960s. Nielsen's love for modulus has also extended to his sofa design, where his simple design and free combination concept have dominated the furniture market for many years. In the 1960s, Nielsen's designs for household chairs, bar chairs, and other items have attracted widespread attention.

人物影响

乔治·尼尔森的设计生涯和在20世纪现代设计中的地位，有些类似于意大利的吉奥.波奥第。两位大师都横跨现代设计的多领域多职业并有效起到多种作用，对现代设计影响也极为深远。尼尔森是一位很有成就的建筑师，又是一位多产的家具设计大师，同时又多年主持家具产品设计营销并长年不断地写出许多文章，推动现代设计运动的发展。

Character influence

George Nielsen's design career and position in modern design in the 20th century are somewhat similar to Italy's Gio Porti. Both masters span multiple fields and professions of modern design and have effectively played multiple roles, with a profound impact on modern design. Nielsen is a highly accomplished architect and a prolific furniture design master. He has also been in charge of furniture product design and marketing for many years, constantly writing numerous articles to promote the development of modern design movement.

He has also been in charge of product design and marketing for furniture for many years, constantly writing many articles to promote the development of modern design movement. Nielsen graduated from the Department of Architecture at Yale University in 1931 and later received the Rome Scholarship. From 1932 to 1934, he went to study at an American college in Rome. In 1935, he became the deputy editor in chief of the Architectural Form magazine and also wrote a large number of articles for the then major magazine, Pencil Point, introducing famous architects and contributing to the development of modern architecture. From 1936 to 1941, Nielsen and his friends founded a partnership architecture firm in New York, and later taught at the Department of Architecture at Yale University. This led to the development of a series of new concepts in architectural design and urban planning, including the earliest concept of green design.

“怪里怪气”的设计

尼尔森的设计风格和理念以其简洁的造型和自由组合的构思对家具市场的设计走向影响多年。

他负责过家具的产品设计营销，设计思想对工业设计界影响非常大，并富有卓越的远见，推动了现代设计运动的发展。

与此同时，尼尔森也开始发展他自己的设计事务所，不仅设计家具，还设计灯具、钟表、塑料制品等工业产品。

尼尔森的家具设计中最剧创新的可能是他对模数制储藏家具系列及模数制办公家具的研究，这两种系统都在世界范围内产生了影响。

The design of "strange and eerie"

Nielsen's design style and philosophy have had an impact on the design direction of the furniture market for many years due to its concise design and free combination of ideas.

He has been responsible for product design and marketing of furniture, and his design ideas have had a significant impact on the industrial design industry. He has outstanding foresight and has driven the development of modern design movements.

At the same time, Nielsen also began to develop his own design firm, not only designing furniture, but also designing industrial products such as lamps, watches, and plastic products.

The most innovative aspect of Nielsen's furniture design may be his research on modular storage furniture series and modular office furniture, both of which have had a global impact.
