Platform Bench


Lets take a trip back to the Herman Miller site, where those fantastic Eames chairs can be found (Update: The chairs in the library are in fact legit Eames).

The Platform Bench by George Nelson is another one of those classic designs that will last forever. We're talking about a multipurpose, neutral, quality piece of furniture here. Designed in 1947. Originals (if you can find them) retail for over $700.

So let's say you've fallen in love with this piece but can't afford it (let's hope this commerce degree will enable me to afford it). What would you do?

How about build an exact replica out of Lego?



Isn't this sweet couple genius? Check out what they had to say about the project and pictures of the Lego bench in use here.
