One of the funnest and most unique examples of modern design is The Nelson Marshmallow Sofa. Created in 1956, no one had ever seen a sofa quite like this and the creators made it pretty much by accident, as it was a test frame for developing high resiliency cushions. Seeing that what was created was so much more than a utilitarian testing platform; we now have the much beloved Nelson Marshmallow Sofa.

Our Nelson Marshmallow Sofa is high quality, made to the specifications of the original. We use your choice of high quality full aniline-dyed, Italian leather over a high density foam cushion, providing both comfort and durability. The frame is powder-coated plated steel, providing a durable foundation for this modern sofa. The Nelson Marshmallow Sofa is a perfect addition to any modern furniture collection. Do you wonder if it is comfortable? Well, we are here to tell you that it is very comfortable - surprisingly so. Each round cushion provides excellent support, and the angle of the back rest perfectly contours to your back.

Below are the leather colors we offer for our Barcelona Collection. Our Standard Leathers (denoted with the prefix L1) are top-grain, aniline-dyed, and then color corrected with a slight embossing to create a more uniform grain pattern. Our Premium leathers (denoted with the prefix L2) are also top-grain, aniline-dyed but have a soft feel to them and much of the hides natural grain patterns are retained. All our leathers are considered equally durable and are ideal for home or commercial use. To read more about leather, read our A Guide to Understanding Upholstery Leather: A Primer.
