However, the true author of the design within Nelson's studio was the designer Irving Harper. Its playful and unusual appearance was ahead of its time. Although the sofa was created as early as the mid-1950s, it is today considered one of the very first manifestations of early Pop Art in furniture design. The name is derived from the round cushions, which resemble the popular candy in their shape. The original intention was to produce a very inexpensive sofa through the clever use of mass-produced cushions. However, due to the complex frame construction and time-consuming manual assembly, it instead became one of the most expensive pieces in the brand's catalog at the time. See less
