The Hans Wegner Shell Chair replica is one of those extraordinary pieces that although they went almost unnoticed at the time, later became icons of its style and its time. This piece, which was originally presented in 1963, didn't mean a great impact in the world of interior decoration and design since its bold form and innovative proposal were undoubtedly ahead of its time. The piece is made of molded walnut plywood and oak veneer, with an exceptional ecological leather padded seat and back. It’s a very comfortable furniture piece, ideal to be placed in a living room or any other compartment of the house.
After its relaunch in 1997, promoted by Carl Hansen & Son furniture company, the Shell Chair underwent a renaissance and finally caught the attention of interior designers and especially the general public. The piece quickly became the guest of honor in living rooms and common areas of millions of family homes and common areas of different types. Not only it's known for its biomorphic design, its curved lines and its lateral wings that make one think of a living being, but also for the quality of its materials.
The Shell Chair replica is made of American walnut wood, which is a very resistant and durable type of wood, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures without losing its shape or its properties. Besides, it's a very light and comfortable model, which breaks with the traditional design schemes of individual chairs. Using a conversation chair during a quiet afternoon, ideally combined with an attractive coffee table, can embellish your living room or any other space in your home. The Hans Wegner Shell Chair is a perfect first level product for these functions. It's a very dynamic piece that inspires style and sense of adventure in modern living rooms and any room.
