The Shell Chair: an Artistic Element In Your Living Room

Posted by Eloy on Mar 10th 2020

What exactly is the line that separates furniture design from mere artistic expression? Of course, there's a lot of art in the furniture design, but the art ends where the comfort, efficiency, and usability of the piece begins. Even so, some designs are considered works of art, due to their aesthetic value, innovation, style, and expressive forms that they can offer. This makes them much more significant than a simple piece of furniture. An example of this is the Shell Chair, which is considered a work of art by many specialists.

The Expressiveness of Mid-Century Modern Style

In the creation of designs such as the Shell Chair replica, many factors participated that realize it's a human creation, with all the potential that it implies. The creator of this wonderful chair, Hans Wegner, put his creativity, inspiration, and knowledge to generate an innovative design that would be destined to become an icon of its style, even many years after its creation. It's known that, before finding the final result, there were many trial and error tests and attempts with different forms until the design he had imagined was brought to reality. Wegner wanted his chair to be on three legs and had such a distinctive curved design, and to achieve this, he had to try in several ways.The artistic value of a piece like the Hans Wegner Shell Chair replica makes it the ideal model to even decorate an area of the house. A tea room intended to receive pleasant visits will look much more original with one or two of these chairs in it. It's a design that changed the vision of how a chair should be and adapted it to the transformative trends that have been breaking paradigms for more than fifty years and opening new paths towards new forms of functional art.
