This is a stunning example of the iconic Coconut Chair, originally designed by George Nelson in 1955. A masterpiece of mid-century modern design, this chair features a striking, triangular shell with smooth, curved edges, reminiscent of a cracked-open coconut.
This well looked after replica is upholstered in black leatherette, offering a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic while ensuring durability and easy to maintain. The outer shell is finished in crisp white, creating a bold contrast that enhances its sculptural form. The chair is supported by a minimalist chrome-plated steel base, with slender legs and cross-bracing that provide both stability and an airy, lightweight appearance.
Designed for comfort as much as style, the wide, open shape invites relaxation, making it an eye-catching statement piece in any modern or contemporary setting - whether in a living room, office, or lounge.
The chair remains in good condition with a few minor scuff marks on the vinyl, but not very noticeable overall.
