Wegner Shell Chair - 50th Anniversary Maharam Textile Collaboration

Hans Wegner designed the Shell Chair in 1963 with the intent of creating an innovative, comfortable, and unique chair that looked beautiful from all angles. At the time of design, production of formed laminated veneer was still extremely rare. Like many things that are ahead of their times, the Shell Chair was not fully appreciated or popular until over 30 years after it's original design when it became a highly sought after item at Sotheby's auction house. Designers now call the Shell chair "the chair that smiles."

Carl Hansen & Son celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Shell Chair with the launch of the Maharam Shell Chair Project by presenting 20 different versions of the Shell Chair at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, each upholstered in a different Maharam textile with a coordinating wooden frame.
