About this piece
A rare opportunity to acquire an original first-generation George Nelson Coconut Chair, accompanied by its highly sought-after matching footstool.
Designed in 1955 by George Nelson for Herman Miller, the Coconut Chair is one of the defining icons of mid-century modern design. Its distinctive sculptural silhouette, inspired by a section of coconut shell, combines striking proportions with exceptional comfort.
This particularly desirable early example features the original metal shell construction, a characteristic of the first-generation production models.
The chair remains in its original, unrestored condition, retaining the character and authenticity of its age. The metal shell has been carefully detailed, the chrome feet cleaned and polished, and the original leather conditioned to preserve its finish.
Complete with its rare matching footstool, this is an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of important 20th-century American design.
