Table Designed by George Nelson
George Nelson began his design for what became the Swag Leg Group with the simple desire to create furniture with a sculptured leg. Beyond beauty, he sought practicality, insisting that the legs be made of metal, machine formed and pre-finished.

The Nelson Swag Leg Group is a revival of an historic collection by George Nelson. Introduced in 1958, the group's evocative pieces have a look, scale, and function that are simply right for today. These classic, sculpted designs can be used individually or together in the home or office, from meeting spaces to offices and dining areas.



Chairs Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
The George Nelson Swag Leg Table is available here with the Eames Molded Plywood Chairs. Experimenting in the 1940s with thin sheets of wood veneer formed under heat and pressure, Charles and Ray Eames adapted this new technology to furniture making.

Sculpting a seat and back to fit the contours of the human body, they designed a truly comfortable chair that’s suitable for businesses and homes. It’s an achievement others have noticed — Time Magazine named it the Best Design of the 20th Century.


THE DESIGN | FEATURES AT A GLANCE | DIMENSIONS | WHY BUY FROM US?



The Design:

  • With his Swag Leg Group, George Nelson didn't try to design an innovation; the innovation resulted from his criteria for the design. He began with the legs, insisting that they be made of metal, machine formed, and pre-finished. He also wanted them to be easy for the consumer to assemble, so the desk and tables could ship knocked down to save on costs.

  • "Swaging" - using pressure to taper and curve a metal tube - proved to be the best way to produce Nelson's legs, which are made of 16-gauge steel and have adjustable glides. Solid walnut stretchers that bolt onto the legs were added for a stable, durable base that is common to both the Swag Desk and Tables.

  • In the early 1940s, when Charles Eames was working on MGM set designs, he would return to the small apartment where he and his wife, Ray, were experimenting with wood-molding techniques that would have profound effects on the design world. Their discoveries led to a commission from the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells molded under heat and pressure.

  • After World War II, they adapted the technology to create inexpensive, high-quality chairs that could be mass-produced. The process eliminated the extraneous wood needed to connect the seat with the back, which reduced the weight and visual profile of the chair and established a basis for modern furniture design. The chair is in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.
