Nelson Marshmallow Sofa

Brightens any room with a dramatic, playful statement

DESIGNER: George Nelson and Irving Harper

George Nelson and Irving Harper, a young designer working in Nelson’s design firm, were approached by an inventor who had created an injection plastic disc that he insisted could be produced inexpensively and would be durable. The designers took a look and arranged 18 of them on a steel frame—the origin of the Marshmallow sofa.

Technical Information

Choose from among a wide variety of fabrics and leathers to create the look you want. Dramatic black leather. Playful orange or bright red fabric. The cushions detach for easy cleaning or, as the original catalog says, “interchanged to equalize wear.” You can also change the cushions to create a new look. The brushed tubular steel frame with satin black legs provides a strong, durable base, making the sofa appropriate for high-traffic areas.
