Armchair CH07 - varnished walnut

CARL HANSEN & SØN CH07 SHELL CHAIR - WALNUT

An architectural masterpiece

When Hans J. Wegner introduced the design of the CH07 Shell Chair in 1963, many critics were enthusiastic about the avant-garde look, but the general public was reluctant to accept the distinctive expression. The mixed reviews in the 1960s and the poorly developed production techniques of the time resulted in very limited production.

When Carl Hansen & Søn relaunched the Shell Chair in 1998, it almost immediately gained widespread public recognition thanks to interest from a new generation. The floating lightness of the design is achieved by the wing-like seat and the curved backrest, which is supported by a frame with three curved legs. The chair's signature seat and backrest are made from padded, molded veneer, providing generous comfort to the user. The laminated legs of the chair consist of several layers of veneer, the two front legs are made from a single element, which creates a unique and stable shape. The Shell Chair is a clear manifestation of Wegner's belief that a chair should always be comfortable, have no back and be beautiful from all sides and angles.

Optimal use and care

Wood :

Wood is a living, natural material and should therefore always be cleaned as gently as possible.

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth ensures that the furniture always looks good and has a beautiful patina. Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean furniture.

Solid wood furniture should not be placed near heat sources such as radiators and wood stoves or stored in unheated rooms.
Wood is a natural material and therefore no two pieces are alike. Small knots, visible growth spots and color variations are part of the natural appearance of wood. The parts of a single piece of furniture are always put together in color and structure, so that the piece of furniture is beautiful and complete.
Color and texture can vary from one piece of furniture to another.

We recommend vacuuming cowhide upholstery regularly with a soft brush and on a low to medium setting. To avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the cowhide, always vacuum in the direction of the hair.
Special cleaning - stain removal
If liquids are spilled, the liquid should be absorbed as quickly as possible with a clean cloth. The stain is first removed by gently blotting with a clean cloth or sponge soaked in warm water. Avoid Avoid getting the cow skin too wet and always wipe it in the direction of the hair so that the water and dirt do not penetrate further into the skin. and dirt does not penetrate further into the hair. Wiping the entire surface should be done quickly to avoid stains.
Special consideration
Because cowhide is a natural material, there can be significant variations in color, pattern and hair length. Give length. Avoid placing furniture with cowhide in direct sunlight.
Avoid using detergents or chemical cleaners.
