 George Nelson (1908–1986) was one of the founders of American Modernism, along with Charles and Ray Eames. He was one of the most influential figures in American design during the second half of the twentieth century. With an architectural degree from Yale, he was not only active in the fields of architecture and design but also a widely respected writer and publicist, lecturer, curator, and a passionate photographer. Nelson was also a prominent innovator in the development of the modern office environment.

“Most people think that George Nelson, Charles Eames and Eliot Noyes invented industrial design. That is, of course, an exaggeration. George did it without any assistance from the other two.” — Bill N. Lacy, FAIA
