This specific chair was manufactured by Vitra in the 90’s continuing the legacy of one of the most important figures in American design.

The chair features a molded reinforced plastic shell, upholstered in black leather, and supported by a sleek triangular chromed-steel frame. Its sculptural, coconut-inspired shape adds both comfort and visual appeal, making it a standout piece for any modern interior.

Originally created by George Nelson during his tenure at Herman Miller, this design quickly became synonymous with Mid-Century Modern style.
