Hans Wegner Shell Chair

Hans Wegner Shell Chair, also known as The Smiling Chair,was first designed by Danish Modernism furniture designer and craftsmen, Hans J. Wegner. It was more than a technological revolution that the Hans Wegner Shell Chair brought at the twentieth century.

Since then, the shell chair has widely appealed much public attention than the days it was originally designed. Combined with 3-legs shaped design as the base, which is the most distinctive point, the shell chair gave people the impression of out of special and unbelievable, thus it caused not much acceptability in the old period.

However, after the great effort of creative and change with alliance between Carl Hansel & Son in 1998, they used technology with modern and traditional craft skills, and so turned out of this broad acceptable one.

The large area of 3 legs used oak veneer or bent plywood to be crafted as absolutely steady frame, shaped like a wing, and the light intensity of the wood grain could be seen perfectly. The seat and back used to covered with Thor Leather, but upholstery with genuine leather or kinds of fabrics in the modern time instead.

The shell chair is one of the most successful artwork of Hans J. Wegner, who ever designed more than 500 works of chairs including wishbone chair which was inspired by Ming Dynasty, China.
