Coconut Chair

by George Nelson
Label: Herman Miller inc.

Year: 1955

It's just like taking a seat on a piece of coconut. With this design George Nelson changed the American design. If you can design a marshmallow chair, then the step to designing a coconut chair is small.

In the coconut you will sit comfortable in any position, because the seating has no compelling corners. Nelson wanted a lounge chair in which you had a lot of freedom to move around. The rubber cushion is flexible and made out of 1 piece. The seating is lightweight, but very strong and the three-legged frame is durable and solid.
