设计师简介：
An early zap came in the 1930s, when he was an architectural student in Rome. Before returning home, an 
idea struck him: He would travel Europe and interview leading modern architects, hoping to get the 
articles published in the U.S. He succeeded, and in the process introduced the U.S. design community to 
the European avant-garde. This set in motion a sequence of what he called "lucky" career breaks that 
were really the inevitable outcomes of his brilliance as a designer, teacher, and author.
The first break was being named an editor of Architectural Forum magazine. Working on a story there in 
1942, he was looking at aerial photos of blighted cities when—zap!—he developed the concept of the 
downtown pedestrian mall, which was unveiled in the Saturday Evening Post.
Soon after, another zap led to the Storagewall, the first modular storage system and a forerunner of 
systems furniture. The Storagewall was showcased in a 1945 Life magazine article, causing a sensation in 
the furniture industry. Herman Miller founder D.J. De Pree saw the article and was so impressed that he 
paid a visit to Nelson in New York and convinced him to be his director of design, which spurred Nelson 
to found his design firm, George Nelson & Associates. The warm, personal, and professional relationship 
between Nelson and De Pree yielded a stunning range of products, from the playful Marshmallow Sofa to 
the first L-shaped desk, a precursor of today's workstation.
Nelson once wrote that Herman Miller "is not playing follow-the-leader." That's one reason why George 
Nelson & Associates worked with Herman Miller for over 25 years as they shepherded design into the 
modern era.
During this same period, George Nelson & Associates also created many landmark designs of products, 
showrooms, and exhibitions for a variety of companies and organizations.
Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, 
conscious break with all values he identifies as antihuman." Designers also must constantly be aware of 
the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is 
nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than 
specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding.
Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane 
design.
