Coconut Chair by George Nelson for Herman Miller
The Coconut Chair (1956) is completely true to George Nelson’s original design, materials, and detailing. With the unique shell design, he accomplished his goal of providing comfortable and attractive lounge seating that provides freedom of movement so that people can sit in just about any position they choose. This midcentury furniture icon has a simple, striking shape, serving as a comfortable place to unwind at home or in the private office or lounge.
