It’s easy to predict the future, but nearly impossible to get it right. Yet time and again, designer George Nelson did just that. In 1945, George Nelson and Henry Wright authored Tomorrow’s House—a kind of guidebook for progressive homebuilders. While it chronicles each element of the house—with chapters illustrating new concepts in living, dining, kitchens, bath—what stands out today is Nelson’s almost counterintuitive approach. Rather than dwelling on form or aesthetics, for example, in the “Sleeping” chapter Nelson writes, “Let us take time out and look at the bedroom, not as a room with some standard furniture in it, but as the area in which a great variety of activities takes place. People read in their bedrooms, they dress there, occasionally eat there, frequently smoke, and sometimes write; they may listen to the radio, and they certainly make love.” The message becomes clear: a house of tomorrow should focus on the reality its inhabitants faced.

While the idea of designing for human experience may seem obvious now, considering the time, place, and social context in which Nelson was working, it seems especially prescient. In 1953’s Living Spaces, the architect-turned-furniture designer recounts meetings in the early 1940s with a young, “very, self-consciously avant-garde group” of designers, who were “deeply concerned with the social, political, economic, and esthetic problems facing the architect.” He makes a note of the rooms that these meetings are held in and writes, “What interests me in retrospect is that these rooms, while of course designed to function as rooms, were set up primarily to function as manifestoes. In the raging battle between Modernism and Conservatism… without these identifications nobody could have told which side one was on.”
