George Nelson™ Marshmallow Sofa from Herman Miller© ChokingHazard Christophe Cherix and Manuel JThe iconic Marshmallow Sofa was designed by Irving Harper for George Nelson after Nelson was approached by an inventor that had designed the couch's plastic discs. Harper took 18 of the discs and arranged them atop a steel frame to create this sofa's unique appearance. Made of a steel frame and legs with leather discs. Both George Nelson and the sofa's manufacturer, Herman Miller, are represented in MoMA's collection.
