Icons: Everyone knows High Design What exactly is a Nelson Swag Leg or a Barcelona chair? You probably know more about these than you think. High design has become so well-integrated into our culture that most of us are exposed to it on a daily basis. You are bombarded with furniture “Icons” every day and you don't even know it. Whether it’s in a TV commercial, at the local Target store, or an exhibit at the art museum, chances are you will recognize at least one of the furniture Icons on our list below. Furniture Icons
Created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 German Pavilion he designed for the Barcelona World Arts Exhibition. You may have seen this piece at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This chair has been a staple in KnollStudio's Lounge Seating collection for years.
Designed in 1958 by George Nelson, this chair is truly a classic. You may have seen it in a library, an office, or even your grandmother's kitchen! Herman Miller has revived this great little number that has been branded as mid-century modern design.
Aeron Chair If you work in an office, you're probably familiar with Herman Miller's Aeron chair. Known for its Ergonomic design, Aeron has been named "Design of the Decade" by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) and Business Week magazine.
