Herman Miller: Interior Views

Herman Miller: Interior Views

On top of giving us the opportunity to own the George Nelson steel frame sofa, Le Boeuf generously gave us this gift. Since the book contain many pictures of the sofa, they thought it would be great for our reference.

Herman Miller: Interior Views

The book contains a great overview of the history of Herman Miller featuring classic furniture designers, Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi and Paul Laszlo. (they are mostly black and white pictures, but it still looks ageless and stunning.)

The black and white picture on the bottom is the same George Nelson steel frame sofa we got. Again, thank you Le Boeuf!

The books is also available at Amazon.

300 miles to George Nelson Frame Sofa

This is the first time to reveal our home on the blog. It’s kind of nerve racking because it’s such an ordinary small place. We just wanted to show something exciting we picked up this past weekend! On Sunday we drove 300 miles down to San Diego to welcome this absolutely beautiful and timeless piece, the George Nelson steel frame sofa. Some of you may remember our previous post, so our promise was fulfilled! The kind people of Le Boeuf saw our entry and contacted us about the availability of the sofa. Without hesitation we decided to go take a look.

The previous owner had it for 15 years, and it is the original George Nelson for Herman Miller production from the 50′s. This picture was shot in the morning, which was the only time during the day we had so we apologize for the quality. We changed the whole layout of our living room, and surprisingly it fits our small space. We are really excited for this piece and would like to thank Le Boeuf . We promise to take great care of it!
