In the design of the Vitra Coconut Chair George Nelson integrated characteristics of the popular design styles of the 1950s, and in doing so created a true design classic. According to George Nelson, the seat shell of fibreglass-reinforced plastic resembles an eighth of a coconut shell: hence, the product's exotic name. The tubular steel frame with struts provides the Coconut Chair, manufactured and distributed today by the Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra with a stable footing. In addition to the Vitra Coconut Chair George Nelson also developed many other designs, designs which define post-war American design and thus played an important role in the development of post war design culture.
