Nelson Coconut Lounge Chair

Nelson Coconut Lounge Chair

Comfort, and great freedom of movement

What kind of person thinks up a chair that looks like a chunk of coconut? How about the person who came up with the Marshmallow sofa? Both designs are the creations of George Nelson and his team. It was Nelson who said, “Total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything.” In acting on this belief, he brought modernism to American furniture, to say nothing of fun, with designs like the Coconut Chair.

Description

Give lounge seating comfort

George Nelson said he developed the chair “to give lounge seating comfort, together with great freedom of movement.” He succeeded. With its shallow sides and inviting curves, the chair is designed to let you sit in any position and move with surprising, and relaxing, ease.

Comfortable, durable materials

Generously padded with a thick, one-piece foam rubber cushion upholstered in supple black leather. The third corner—the one that forms the backrest—is just slightly longer than the two on the sides. That’s where the comfort comes from. The upholstery is molded into the simple, striking plastic shell, which is lightweight but sturdy. It sits atop a clean, bent-steel, three-legged base with tough nylon glides.
