The Greatness Behind a Chair

The Hans Wegner Shell Chair replica became an icon of its style undoubtedly thanks to its most distinctive technical and aesthetic characteristics. Despite the time it took to become a recognized piece, not even the passage of several years prevented it from ending up reaching the place of recognition that corresponded to it. The work with the materials and the quality of the wood selected for its construction are some of the most important aspects of this work. The seat and backrest of this chair are made of reinforced laminated wood of very high quality. Its front legs are made of a piece of continuous laminated wood, while the rear leg is formed by another independent piece.

Although the Shell Chair replica was introduced in 1963, this work by Hans Wegner took several years to gain popularity. It wasn't until 1998 when Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the piece into the market that began to gain delayed popularity and captivated the interest of the new generation. One more proof that it was always destined to become an iconic design of its time. Visit our Showroom in NYC to know in detail this and other pieces of the mid-century modern style.
