I bought this sofa, and am looking for another. The seller said it was Herman Miller for George Nelson, and the image name on the JPG says Knoll. But I can't seem to locate any info about it under either name.

It measures 5' wide and is about 28" tall.

Thanks!

is it?
I've found a few images of the George Nelson Modular sofa for Herman Miller online, and the base seems to be different, and the tuftings look higher than one mine. But it seems the closest yet, so thanks.

Do you all agree?
Any other suggestions from you learned folks? Or do you agree it's the modular?

Nelson modular
Without a doubt. Though it has been reupholstered incorrectly. It should not have that waterfall edge on the front, rather a flat front with a welt cord.
Here is a thread where we discussed these sofas at length.

Right you are!
Thanks, Pegboard. That solves it for me. Do you think it will be difficult for me to find another 2-seater with arms? I've been hunting around San Francisco with no luck.
