Nelson 6-Drawer Miniature Chest with Base

Beautiful and symmetrical. The Nelson 6-Drawer Miniature Chest with Base from Herman Miller offers both function and beauty to any room you put it in. It is made from solid wood and features hand-fitted drawers, providing the kind of quality craftsmanship designer George Nelson is known for. The drawers can be arranged either vertically or horizontally in two rows of three, and you can use it without the pedestal if you so desire. The smooth glides—made of brass for added protection—offer easy use, and each one comes with a small jewelry drawer and dividers to keep small items organized. The design was inspired by Japanese mobile storage units, known as tansu. Nelson has been fascinated by Japan and Japanese culture since his first trip to Tokyo in 1951, and he intended these drawers to embody what he loved most about Japanese design: “a sense of fitness in the relationship between, hand, material, and shape.”
