Nelson Marshmallow Sofa

The inspiration for the Nelson Marshmallow Sofa (1956) was launched when an inventor approached George Nelson and Irving Harper with a planned self-skinned injection plastic disc that would be inexpensive to produce and unerringly durable. Though the inventor's vision for high-resiliency, low-cost cushions never came to fruition, Herman Miller chose to produce it anyway. Each sofa consists of 18 round, comfortable cushions atop a steel frame. Designed with both residential and commercial applications in mind. An icon of modern design.
