Marshmallow Love Seat #5670,[1] commonly known as the Marshmallow sofa, is a modernist sofa produced by the American furniture company Herman Miller, that was initially manufactured between 1956 and 1961. It is considered the most iconic of all modernist sofas.[2] The sofa was designed by Irving Harper of George Nelson Associates. It was produced in two lengths from 1956 to 1961.[2] It consists of a metal frame with round discs of covered foam, or "marshmallows", spread across the seat and back in a lattice arrangement.
The sofa, in the smaller of the two sizes, was re-issued in the 1980s as part of the "Herman Miller Classics" line and continues in production today.
