Designed in 1955 by George Nelson, the Coconut Chair and Ottoman reflect playful modernism. Inspired by a sliced coconut, the chair’s fiberglass shell is triangular yet inviting. Upholstered in a single cushion, it rests on a polished steel base. The ottoman echoes its form, combining comfort, whimsy, and structural elegance.
