CH07 Shell Chair
Hans J. Wegner designed the Shell Chair in 1963, and it remains one of his most sculpturally daring works. The three-legged base strips the form to its essentials, while the wing-like seat and backrest, shaped from laminated wood, follow the contours of the body with quiet authority.
The chair occupies a distinct position in Wegner's body of work: more expressive than his restrained classics, yet never decorative for its own sake. Every curve serves a postural purpose. The result is a piece that reads as art from across a room and performs as furniture the moment you sit in it.
- Laminated wood construction, steam-bent and shaped for organic precision
- Three-legged structure distributes weight with architectural economy
- Produced by Carl Hansen and Søn, the original manufacturer of Wegner's most enduring designs
- Available in a range of wood finishes to suit considered interiors
