George Nelson Swing Sofa — Leather Reupholstery

This George Nelson Swing sofa, an iconic mid-century modern design, arrived at our studio requiring complete leather reupholstery. Nelson’s Swing sofa features a distinctive suspended cushion design that appears to float within its minimal steel frame — a hallmark of the designer’s innovative approach to modern furniture.

Our upholsterers removed the worn original leather and rebuilt the cushion structure, ensuring the seat and back maintain the precise proportions and firmness that allow the Swing sofa to achieve its characteristic floating appearance. The suspension system was inspected and serviced to ensure proper tension.

Premium leather was selected and tailored to fit the cushions with the clean, precise lines that Nelson’s design demands. The completed reupholstery restores this George Nelson Swing sofa to its original luxurious condition, preserving the innovative design thinking that made Herman Miller’s mid-century collection legendary.
