List B - George Nelson, Eero Aarnio


George Nelson(1908~1986)Eero Aarnio(1932-)

There re pretty much contrast in the designs between these two designers, same as furniture designers, George nelson's chairs design form got the interpretation from early 20th century, but Eero Aarnio 's design is pretty much closer to the current world. We can actually see that Geroge Nelson's design is more angular, the form or shapes and using more general materials, very much suitable to use is office or i should say less modern but more classic look furniture. Eeron Aarnio is at the opposite side, always experimenting with plastics, vivid colors and organic forms, makes him breaking away from traditional design conventions.
