CH07 Shell Chair

CH07 Shell Chair is one of the most popular armchairs produced by Hans Wegner in 1963 and distributed by the brand Carl Hansen & Son. The seat and backrest of the armchair are made of upholstered, pressed veneer to cradle the user in generous comfort. The famous CH07 chair has just celebrated its first 50th year, but it is still a modern product. The lightness of its design is achieved by the winged seat and curved backrest supported by a frame with three arched legs. Made of oak, walnut, or veneered beech, it has the upholstery of the seat and backrest in fabric or leather. When Hans J. Wegner designed the CH07 Shell Chair in 1963, many people loved the avant-garde look, but the general public was reluctant to accept its distinctive expression. Mixed reviews along with the less-developed production techniques of the time, resulted in very limited production. When Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the Shell Chair in 1998, it won broad people's admiration almost immediately due to the interest of a new generation. CH07 is a versatile model, perfect for a living room or arranging in a contract space.
