Swag Leg
Chair
George Nelson
Price: $399
With his Swag Leg Group, George
Nelson didn't try to design an innovation; the innovation
resulted from his criteria for the design. Swaging--using pressure
to taper and curve a metal tube--proved the best way to
produce the legs, which are 16-gauge steel and have
adjustable glides. For the chair shell, Nelson got permission from
Charles and Ray Eames to use the patented process they
developed for molding plastic. Nelson took the process a step
further and created separate seat and back shells that he
glued together. With 21st century innovations in
technology and material, today's shells are authentic and made of
recyclable polypropylene.
Placed around tables in dining
areas or conference rooms, the Swag Leg Chair fits today’s
needs just as it did when it first appeared in 1958.
