Designed by George Nelson
Originally introduced by Herman Miller in 1955, the Nelson coconut chair is a 20th century furniture icon. It has a simple, striking shape, and it's also a very comfortable place to unwind at home or in the private office or lounge.

With its shallow sides and inviting curves, the chair is designed to let you sit in any position and move with ease. A chair made to look like a section of coconut shell wasn’t a stretch for someone who said, “Total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything.” The Coconut chair offers shapely comfort anyone can relate to.

The Design

The contours of George Nelson’s Coconut chair invite you to surround yourself in comfort. In his 1956 design statement for the Coconut chair, Nelson said it “was developed to give lounge seating comfort together with great freedom of movement.”

The coconut chair is completely true to George Nelson's original design, materials, and detailing. With the unique shell design, he accomplished his goal of providing comfortable and attractive lounge seating that gives freedom of movement so that people can sit in just about any position they choose.

Herman Miller: The name is synonymous with innovation, design, operational excellence, smart application of technology, and social responsibility. Herman Miller, Inc. studies work and living environments and designs and delivers products and services that make these environments work better. Through problem-solving research and design, the company seeks to develop innovative solutions to real needs in working, healing, learning, and living environments.

Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.

George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:

What you make is important.
Design is an integral part of the business.
The product must be honest.
You decide what you will make.
There is a market for good design.

While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes. More on Herman Miller ®...

You MUST inspect your package at the time of delivery.
