Description

The Marshmallow Sofa, designed by George Nelson and Irving Harper in 1956, is a celebrated icon of furniture design. Renowned for its whimsical and innovative concept, it features circular cushion-like discs stacked atop a sturdy metal frame, resembling a playful stack of marshmallows.

Revolutionary in its time, the sofa departed from traditional designs by employing a modular approach with separate upholstered discs. This allowed for customization in both color and arrangement, offering versatility and a unique aesthetic. The discs are supported by a robust steel frame, contributing to its distinctive mid-century modern appeal.

As a symbol of mid-century modern design, the Marshmallow Sofa embodies the era's exploration of unconventional forms and materials. Its eye-catching design quickly gained popularity in various settings, from homes to offices and public spaces, where it continues to add a whimsical and contemporary flair to modern interiors.
