This is a 'Coconut’ Lounge Chair, initially designed by George Nelson for Herman Miller in 1955. This is an early example, dating to the 1950s. The design features a molded, reinforced plastic shell, and this particular chair has an upholstered black fabric seat. The shell sits atop a triangular chromed-steel frame. Nelson's decision to name this model “the Coconut Chair” stemmed from his feeling that the shape resembled a slice of coconut.
The chair measures 32.5 inches long, 40.25 inches wide, and 32.75 inches tall. The seat height is 11.5 inches. There is a small hole in the upholstery fabric as photographed, and there is fading to the fabric. The white plastic shell shows some scratches and stains, and the underlying foam is a bit crunchy. Overall, this original chair is in good condition. Please see photos.
