簡介：喬治·尼爾森(George Nelson,1907-1986年)被認為是美國最具影響力的人物之一，他是建筑師、家具設計師和產(chǎn)品設計師，曾經(jīng)擔任Herman Miller家具公司的藝術總監(jiān)長達20年，可以說和Eames夫婦一起形塑了美國現(xiàn)代家具的樣貌。他最知名的Marshmallow沙發(fā)和Ball Clock都像糖果一樣色彩斑斕，是早期波普風格家具的代表作品。

George Nelson 

American architects and designers

Introduction: George Nelson (1907-1986) is considered one of the most influential figures in the United States. He was an architect, furniture designer, and product designer. He served as the artistic director of Herman Miller Furniture Company for 20 years, and together with the Eames couple, he shaped the appearance of modern American furniture. His most famous Marshmallow sofas and Ball Clocks are as colorful as candy, representing early Pop style furniture.

尼爾森家具設計中最有創(chuàng)意的可能是他對模數(shù)制儲藏家具系統(tǒng)及模數(shù)制辦公家具的研究，這兩種系統(tǒng)都在世界范圍內(nèi)產(chǎn)生了影響。尼爾森對模數(shù)的鐘愛也擴展到他的沙發(fā)設計中，其簡潔的造型和自由組合的構思多年主導著家具市場，60年代尼爾森設計的家用椅、酒吧椅等都曾引起廣泛的注目。

Character Experience

From 1941 to 1944, he taught in the Department of Architecture at Columbia University in New York. In 1946, he also served as a consultant for the Interior Design Department at Parsons School of Design in New York. In the same year, he was hired to replace Gilbert Rhodes as the Director of the Design Department at Miller Company until his retirement in 1972. During his tenure at Miller, he successfully hired many top-notch furniture designers to join the company, such as Charles Imes, making Miller one of the most influential furniture manufacturing companies in the world. At the same time, Nielsen began to develop his own design system. In 1947, he established his own design firm in New York, not only designing furniture, but also designing industrial products such as lamps, watches, and plastic products. After 1957, he began to pay attention to environmental design in architecture and was one of the earliest architects to study architectural ecology. As a renowned design critic, Nielsen's design philosophy has had a significant impact and often possesses outstanding foresight.

The most creative aspect of Nielsen's furniture design may be his research on modular storage furniture systems and modular office furniture, both of which have had a global impact. Nielsen's love for modulus has also extended to his sofa design, with his simple design and free combination concept dominating the furniture market for many years. In the 1960s, Nielsen's designs for household chairs, bar chairs, and more have attracted widespread attention.

創(chuàng)作特點

尼爾森家具設計中最有創(chuàng)新的可能是他對模數(shù)制儲藏家具系列及模數(shù)制辦公家具的研究，這兩種系統(tǒng)都在世界范圍內(nèi)產(chǎn)生了影響。尼爾森的椅子和沙發(fā)設計也非常有創(chuàng)意，如1955年設計的“椰子椅”，如名稱所示，其設計構思源自椰子殼的一部分，這件椅子盡管看起來很輕便，但由于“椰子殼”為金屬材料，其份量并不輕。尼爾森另一件著名的家具設計是1956年“向日葵沙發(fā)”，該沙是發(fā)主體在此被分解成一個個的小圓的效果，其色彩的大膽使用和明確的集合形式都預示著60年人波普藝術（POP）的到來。尼爾森對模數(shù)的鐘愛也擴展到他的沙發(fā)設計中，其簡潔的造型和自由組合的構思多年主宰著家具市場，60年代尼爾森設計出的家用椅、酒吧椅等曾引起廣泛的關注。

Creative characteristics

The most innovative aspect of Nielsen's furniture design may be his research on modular storage furniture series and modular office furniture, both of which have had a global impact. Nielsen's chair and sofa designs are also very creative, such as the "Coconut Chair" designed in 1955, as the name suggests. Its design concept is derived from a part of the coconut shell. Although this chair looks lightweight, due to the metal material of the coconut shell, its weight is not light. Another famous furniture design by Nielsen is the 1956 "Sunflower Sofa", where the sand is the effect of breaking down the hair into small circles. The bold use of colors and clear collection forms foreshadow the arrival of Pop Art (POP) in the 1960s. Nielsen's love for modulus has also extended to his sofa design, where his simple design and free combination concept have dominated the furniture market for many years. In the 1960s, Nielsen's designs for household chairs, bar chairs, and other items have attracted widespread attention.

人物影響

喬治·尼爾森的設計生涯和在20世紀現(xiàn)代設計中的地位，有些類似于意大利的吉奧.波奧第。兩位大師都橫跨現(xiàn)代設計的多領域多職業(yè)并有效起到多種作用，對現(xiàn)代設計影響也極為深遠。尼爾森是一位很有成就的建筑師，又是一位多產(chǎn)的家具設計大師，同時又多年主持家具產(chǎn)品設計營銷并長年不斷地寫出許多文章，推動現(xiàn)代設計運動的發(fā)展。

Character influence

George Nielsen's design career and position in modern design in the 20th century are somewhat similar to Italy's Gio Porti. Both masters span multiple fields and professions of modern design and have effectively played multiple roles, with a profound impact on modern design. Nielsen is a highly accomplished architect and a prolific furniture design master. He has also been in charge of furniture product design and marketing for many years, constantly writing numerous articles to promote the development of modern design movement.

He has also been in charge of product design and marketing for furniture for many years, constantly writing many articles to promote the development of modern design movement. Nielsen graduated from the Department of Architecture at Yale University in 1931 and later received the Rome Scholarship. From 1932 to 1934, he went to study at an American college in Rome. In 1935, he became the deputy editor in chief of the Architectural Form magazine and also wrote a large number of articles for the then major magazine, Pencil Point, introducing famous architects and contributing to the development of modern architecture. From 1936 to 1941, Nielsen and his friends founded a partnership architecture firm in New York, and later taught at the Department of Architecture at Yale University. This led to the development of a series of new concepts in architectural design and urban planning, including the earliest concept of green design.

“怪里怪氣”的設計

尼爾森的設計風格和理念以其簡潔的造型和自由組合的構思對家具市場的設計走向影響多年。

他負責過家具的產(chǎn)品設計營銷，設計思想對工業(yè)設計界影響非常大，并富有卓越的遠見，推動了現(xiàn)代設計運動的發(fā)展。

與此同時，尼爾森也開始發(fā)展他自己的設計事務所，不僅設計家具，還設計燈具、鐘表、塑料制品等工業(yè)產(chǎn)品。

尼爾森的家具設計中最劇創(chuàng)新的可能是他對模數(shù)制儲藏家具系列及模數(shù)制辦公家具的研究，這兩種系統(tǒng)都在世界范圍內(nèi)產(chǎn)生了影響。

The design of "strange and eerie"

Nielsen's design style and philosophy have had an impact on the design direction of the furniture market for many years due to its concise design and free combination of ideas.

He has been responsible for product design and marketing of furniture, and his design ideas have had a significant impact on the industrial design industry. He has outstanding foresight and has driven the development of modern design movements.

At the same time, Nielsen also began to develop his own design firm, not only designing furniture, but also designing industrial products such as lamps, watches, and plastic products.

The most innovative aspect of Nielsen's furniture design may be his research on modular storage furniture series and modular office furniture, both of which have had a global impact.
