Updated to a MidCentury Modern Swag Office Set-up

This is my interpretation of the ultimate MidCentury Modern Workspace. 50 plus year old designs that still looks timeless yet modern and contemporary. Dieter Rams would say "Less is More." Don Draper would say, "Make it simple, but make it significant." Yes, it is expensive but it will outlive and outlast any computers I have or will have for the next 40 years. This is a "luxury desk set-up."

 

George Nelson Swag Leg Desk design by Charles Pollock for Nelson Associates in 1958.

Eames Soft Pad Management Aluminum Group Chair designed in 1969 by the legendary design masters, Charles and Ray Eames. Both manufactured by Herman Miller. Artemide Tolomeo Lamp. Designed by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina for Artemide. 1987. The design classics. All featured and on displays at various Museums of Modern Art like NY MoMA. George Nelson Bench for storage. Everything pictured are authentic, licensed pieces.

 

BTW, people have been wondering. Yes, you can fit a 27" iMac on a George Nelson Swag Desk. As long as it is under 25 lbs.

 

I'm pretty much complete except I might swap out the Tolomeo Lamp for an AJ (Arne Jacobsen) Desk Lamp.
