Product Details
Materials & Finish
The Shell Chair is constructed from molded plywood with a natural veneer finish, commonly offered in walnut, oak, or ash. The seat and backrest are upholstered in high-quality aniline leather or fabric, filled with molded foam for comfort. The exposed wood grain contrasts with the smooth upholstery, creating a striking modernist aesthetic.
The wide seat and gently reclined angle promote a relaxed seating posture, while the foam-upholstered panels ensure comfort. The three-legged design provides stability on uneven surfaces. Lightweight yet strong, the Shell Chair integrates easily into living rooms, lounges, or reading corners as both a functional chair and a sculptural design object.
Comfort & Functionality
The chair features a distinctive three-legged base, made from laminated and molded plywood for strength and stability. The broad, wing-shaped seat and curved backrest are precision-molded to provide ergonomic support. All joints are reinforced, and the veneer is finished with a protective lacquer for durability. The combination of layered plywood and fine upholstery highlights Wegner’s craftsmanship in balancing structure and form..

Hans J. Wegner
Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) was a Danish furniture designer, renowned as the “Master of the Chair” for creating over 500 chair designs that epitomize Scandinavian modernism. Trained as a cabinetmaker and educated at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts, Wegner emphasized organic simplicity, craftsmanship, and comfort. His most iconic pieces include the Wishbone Chair (1949), Round Chair—famously used in the 1960 Kennedy–Nixon debates—and the Peacock Chair. Wegner skillfully merged traditional woodworking techniques with modern aesthetics, producing timeless, functional furniture. His dedication to form and function secured him a central role in shaping 20th-century Danish and international design.
