Wegner – a legendary figure in Danish Modernism and a famous furniture designer, who had a great passion for chairs; thus his nickname “the Master of the Chair”. Wegner is responsible for more than 500 projects of chairs, a lot of which were later mass-produced. Although the first Shell Chair was introduced in 1963, its history dates back to 1948, when Wegner started experimenting with a relatively new (back then) process of forming laminated wood. One year later, he introduced a prototype manufactured from the bent plywood, which was supported on an unusual three-leg base. In 1963, he revived the three-legged chair design by creating the Shell Chair, which had its official debut at a Danish furniture exhibition. Despite the fact that the chair was well received by critics, its avant-garde, futuristic shape made the general public rather reluctant. Due to that, its mass production was restrained, leaving only a small initial batch available for sale. The Shell Chair was brought back to life by the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company, which launched the CH07 again into production in 1997. The Shell Chair, produced under the new brand, instantly enjoyed a commercial breakthrough. It has also received numerous design awards. Please contact seller for shipping quote to your destination.
