    • A refined example of American mid-century modern design, this authentic George Nelson Thin Edge nightstand, model 4701, showcases the clean architectural lines and thoughtful proportions that define Nelson’s work for Herman Miller. Executed in rich walnut, the case displays a warm, even tone with beautiful grain movement, framed by the signature thin-edge profile that gives the piece its iconic lightness.

      The cabinet features four smoothly functioning drawers, each fitted with rare black drawer pulls—a striking and less commonly seen detail that adds contrast and a sculptural touch to the minimalist façade. Inside the top drawer, the original Herman Miller metal manufacturer’s label is present, confirming its authenticity and heritage.

      Elevated on tapered metal legs, the piece appears to float, creating a sense of openness while maintaining a strong visual presence. The craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the precise joinery to the balanced proportions.

      Beyond its role as a nightstand, this piece offers exceptional versatility. Its compact footprint and generous drawer storage make it ideal as a:

      • Nightstand or bedside table
      • Jewelry cabinet or personal storage chest
      • Entryway organizer
      • Small dresser or accent cabinet

      This multifunctionality, combined with its timeless design, makes it an incredibly practical addition to both modern and vintage-inspired interiors.

      At Hobbs Modern, this piece has been carefully restored to highlight the natural beauty of the walnut while preserving the character and integrity of the original design.
