One of the things we may notice today when it comes to home decorating is that some are going retro. Unknown to many these days, some of the current furnishings we look up to were already existent. Take for instance the case of George Nelson’s Coconut Chair which brings us back to 1955.

These designs were apparently absent for some time but now that we are in the age of turning back to them, you may be surprised at how much they cost in the market these days.

The chair itself, now reissued by Vitra, comprises of a white fibreglass-reinforced plastic outer shell, with black upholstery sat on a chromed tubular steel base. And prices vary according to your choice of upholstery, starting at £517.50, rising to £3208.50 at Nest.
