George Nelson ‘coconut’ chair fauteuil for Vitra

It was George Nelson himself, a prominent representative of American modernism of the mid-twentieth century, who first compared the Coconut Chair to an eighth of a coconut.

But in terms of colours, the iconic and spacious armchair looks more like a coconut turned inside out: the outside of the fiberglass shell is white, while the comfortable, one-piece seat shell is covered with high-quality leather. No one has sat on this coconut yet, it is as good as new. Minor marks of showroom spurs.
