Seller's Notes:The process of bringing the Nelson Thin Edge Bed (1954) back into production began at the Herman Miller Archives, where engineers carefully studied vintage pieces and original drawings. In keeping with George Nelson’s vision for a collection capable of adapting to the times, this bed is now available in larger sizes that weren’t commonly available in the 1950s. Solid ash slats replace springs to accommodate an invention that also didn’t exist in Nelson’s day: memory-foam mattresses. Updated finishes reflect new technologies as well as the aesthetic preferences of today’s consumer: Walnut subs for stained ash, while white ash updates the original birch. Yet changes withstanding, the designs are utterly and unmistakably Nelson in their exceptional simplicity and clarity. This is the authentic Nelson Thin Edge Bed by Herman Miller. Mattress not included. Made in Malaysia.

Keeping with George Nelson's vision of pieces that could be adapted for the times, the Nelson Thin Edge Bed (1954) now features slats instead of springs to accommodate memory foam mattresses. Finishes, including walnut and white ash, reflect new technologies and consumer preferences. The headboard is available with or without woven cane; legs may be solid wood or stainless steel. But even with these updates, this unmistakably remains a Nelson bed frame in its simplicity and quiet beauty.
