Catalog excerpts

Coconut Chair George Nelson, 1955 Coconut Chair The Coconut Chair, a prime example of 1950s design, is distinguished by its humorous undertones, formal clarity and minimal use of materials. The designer himself, George Nelson, compared the armchair with a coconut cut into eight parts, though he reversed the colours: the outer shell of the Coconut Chair is white, while the one-piece cushion is covered with high-quality leather or fabric in a variety of colours. By evoking the natural, spacious shape of a shell, Nelson created an inviting and comfortable armchair that allows the sitter to assume a wide variety of positions. Materials ∏ Shell: glass fibre reinforced plastic in white. ∏ Upholstery: one-piece polyurethane foam padding. ∏ Base: tubular steel, polished chrome finish. ∏ Glides: plastic glides for carpet; felt glides for hard oors optionally available. DIMENSIONS (measurements are established pursuant to EN 1335-1) 830 32¾” 510 20” Coconut Chair
