The Coconut Chair

Over the weekend I went to see The Richard Avedon Kennedy Portraits exhibit the The Hunter Museum (a fantastic museum that my mid-sized city is so lucky to have). The pair of George Nelson Coconut Chairs in the lobby prompted this post. It is amazing that a chair this sleek can be so comfortable.

    I love these. You can make the chair the main art of the living room! Minimalistic and cool!

    Greetings! Thanks so much for stopping by Cedar Key DP!

    These chairs don't look very comfortable, but I'll take your word for it...would like to try one, though.
