「George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher」Guided Tour - HKDI Gallery

Co-organised by HKDI and IVE (LWL), and Vitra Design Museum, Germany, 「George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher」 exhibition will showcase the finest selection of the masterpieces of George Nelson (1908 – 1986), one of the most important American designers of the 20th century. George Nelson's conception of design was wide ranging, not only reputable as a designer, but also renowned as an architect, a writer and a teacher. The exhibition held at HKDI Gallery of HKDI and IVE (Lee Wai Lee) from March to June 2014 will offer an overview of Nelson's designs and insights, from iconic spindly-legged furniture and colourful ball-clocks to his writings and company brochures. His most signature design pieces such as the Marshmallow Sofa, the Bubble Lamps and the Wall Clocks will also be showcased during the exhibition period.
