Walnut 'EOG' Executive Desk George Nelson for Herman Miller, 1960

This expansive modernist architectural desk belongs to the famous 'Executive Office Group' (EOG) series. The structural design relies on a large rectangular top (167 cm) in carefully selected walnut veneer. It is supported by two asymmetrical suspended pedestals, featuring two and three drawers respectively. The entire assembly rests on a tubular chromed steel base, equipped with adjustable glides at the bottom to ensure optimal stability. The facades are punctuated by profiled extruded aluminum pulls. This piece features a highly sought-after attribute: its walnut back panel (modesty panel) that encloses the rear space between the pedestals. The original Herman Miller label is preserved under the top, near the central niche.
