Vitra - Miniatures Collection, Marshmallow Sofa

Vitra Marshmallow Sofa Miniature.

The Marshmallow Sofa is a design from 1956. The Marshmallow Sofa, is officially known as the Marshmallow Loveseat, and is the iconic design by George Nelson.

George Nelson is one of the most influential personalities in American design after 1945. From 1946 onwards, he headed the design department of the Herman Miller company for many years, on behalf of whom he hired designers hardly known at the time, such as Charles Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard. .

Nelson's 'Marshmallow' sofa should be considered one of the earliest 'Pop Art' furniture designs: the transformation of a traditional sofa into a three-dimensional structure made of soft, colored cushions. The seat and backrest are supported by a steel construction and the furniture has the shape of an axially symmetrical unfolded waffle. Painted steel tubes, aluminum, with cushions.
