Herman Miller for the Home

One of a Kind
Whimsical design. 18 round, comfortable cushions "float" on the frame.

Flexibility. Cushions can be detached for easy cleaning and interchanged to equalize wear or create a new look.

Design Story
When the Marshmallow sofa was introduced in 1956, the Herman Miller catalog described it as "The first of a series of pieces embodying a new concept in soft seating. We feel that it has possible use not only in the home, but in contract use for lobbies in public buildings where the very fact that it is unusual will be a plus."

The catalog also said, "Despite its astonishing appearance, this piece is very comfortable."

Designed by Irving Harper and George Nelson, the sofa was reintroduced by Herman Miller after a 34-year hiatus in 1999.
