Armchair CH07 - Walnut lacquered

The CH07 armchair by Carl Hansen & Søn, also known as the Shell Chair, is a prime example of Danish design and craftsmanship excellence. Originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1963, this armchair impresses with its avant-garde shape and unmistakable elegance. The CH07, made of lacquered walnut, not only blends seamlessly into modern living spaces, but is also an eye-catcher in any setting.

The construction of the armchair demonstrates a masterful balance between stability and aesthetics. The wing-shaped seat and the curved backrest give the piece of furniture a floating lightness, which is supported by the frame with three carefully curved legs. These legs consist of several layers of the finest veneer, with the front legs made from a single element to ensure unparalleled stability.

The chair offers exceptional seating comfort thanks to its upholstered, compression-molded veneer. Wegner's philosophy that a chair should have no back and must be beautiful from all sides is fully realized in this design. The Shell Chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a work of art that is convincing in both its functionality and its form.

With the re-release of the CH07 in 1998, Carl Hansen & Søn breathed new life into a classic. The chair has since gained worldwide recognition and is appreciated by design lovers. It combines timeless elegance with modern functionality and is an investment in quality and style that will last for generations.
