Famed designer George Nelson once said that “Design is a response to social change.” While crediting each stunning creation to a different creative “Zap” of inspiration. The Nelson Coconut Chair from Herman Miller is no exception to his inspired and innovative outlook, starting with a three-legged steel base that supports a deep-pocketed plastic shell at a natural angle for relaxation. Additional comfort is provided by a foam rubber cushion and black leather that slightly overlap the shell, covering sharp corners and abrupt edges while offering a striking visual contrast.
