Coconut Chair & Footstool - Nelson Collection - From Vitra £3670.70
Coconut Chair and Footstall by George Nelson, 1955. The Coconut Chair is a typical 1950's design - it stands out for its humorous touch, formal clarity and minimal use of materials. Nelson himself compared it with a cocnut cut into eight parts and inverted the coconut's colours: the plastic seat shell is white, while the single-section upholstery comes in a variety of colours. This return to the natural shape of a shell enabled Nelson to create an inviting, comfortable arm-chair that offers users the freedom to sit in countless different positions. The Footstool, which Nelson designed to complement the armchair in 1955, ensured even greater sitting comfort and increased the chair's range of uses. Material: white shell made from fibreglass-reinforced plastic on a chromed tubular steel base frame.
