CH07 Shell chair
Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1963. When it was presented at a Danish furniture exhibition some critics loved the avant-garde design, but the general public was slow to accept the chair's bold lines and initial sales were poor.
Produced only in very limited quantities during the 1960s, Wegner's "Three-legged Shell Chair" began to fetch handsome prices at international auctions in the 1980s and 1990s.
When Carl Hansen & Son re-introduced the chair in 1998, it immediately won several design awards and broad public appeal. Sometimes called "The Smiling Chair", the three-legged construction provides outstanding stability.
The chair achieves a floating lightness due to its wing-like lines, its tapered legs, and the arching curves of its laminated legs.
