Product Details
Materials & Finish
The Coconut Chair features a molded fiberglass shell with a smooth white lacquer finish, resembling a section of a coconut shell. The seat cushion is upholstered in premium aniline leather or high-quality fabric, filled with dense polyurethane foam for lasting comfort. The minimalist contrast between the white shell and dark upholstery accentuates Nelson’s modernist aesthetic.
The wide, open seat and gently reclined angle allow relaxed postures, providing comfort from multiple seating positions. The foam-padded cushion supports the body evenly, while the fiberglass shell offers flexible resilience. Its sculptural form makes it ideal for lounges, living rooms, or modern interiors, functioning as both a practical seat and an iconic mid-century design statement.
Comfort & Functionality
The chair’s seat shell is molded in one piece from reinforced fiberglass for strength and stability. The upholstery is precision-fitted onto the inner shell and secured with concealed fasteners. The three-legged base is made from chromed tubular steel, attached to the shell with polished steel fittings. All connections are designed for rigidity while maintaining visual lightness.

George Nelson
George Nelson (1908–1986) was an American industrial designer, architect, and writer, recognized as one of the founders of American modernism. After studying at Yale, he became design director at Herman Miller (1947–1972), where he collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, and Alexander Girard. Nelson introduced iconic furniture and objects, including the Coconut Chair, Marshmallow Sofa, and the playful Ball and Sunburst Clocks. He also pioneered modular storage and workspace systems, anticipating changing lifestyles and office needs. Through his writing and visionary designs, Nelson shaped the language of mid-century modern design, leaving a profound international legacy.
