Swag Leg Desk

$0.00 CAD

A masterpiece of mid-century design, the Herman Miller Swag Leg Desk by George Nelson (1954) is as functional as it is iconic. This authentic, signed NS5850 model is in pristine condition - a true collector’s piece that has stood the test of time.

Crafted using the innovative swaging technique, which tapers and bends metal tubing under pressure, the desk’s distinctive silhouette remains as striking today as it was upon its debut. Its compact yet highly practical design features a crisp white laminated top, colorful cubbies, and molded drawers to keep your workspace effortlessly organized. Solid walnut side and back panels add warmth and sophistication, while chrome-finished steel legs with a walnut stretcher complete the look.

A seamless blend of form and function, this Swag Leg Desk is more than furniture - it’s a statement of timeless design.

About the Designer

Herman Miller was founded in 1905 as the Star Furniture Co. In 1919, it was renamed the Michigan Star Furniture Co. under then-president Dirk Jan De Pree. De Pree and his father-in-law, Herman Miller, (born Harm Mulder on 7 September 1867 in Hoogemeeden, Groningen, Netherlands) acquired most of the company's shares in 1923 and renamed it the Herman Miller Furniture Company.

George Nelson:
Architect, designer, and writer George Nelson was a central figure in the mid-century American modernist design movement; and his thoughts influenced not only the furniture we live with, but also how we live.

Nelson came to design via journalism and literature. Upon receiving his bachelor’s degree in architecture from Yale in 1931, he won the Prix de Rome fellowship, and spent his time in Europe writing magazine articles that helped bring stateside recognition to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Gio Ponti, Le Corbusier and other canonical modernist architects.
