USA, 1940s
Model No. 4663 chair designed by George Nelson. This is a classic yet lesser known piece by the Nelson office. If you are looking to complete a dining set or add a great looking, period-appropriate piece to a CSS unit, this would be an excellent pick. The scale would also work well as a side chair in a bedroom.
