Easy chair CH07 Oak oiled/ Thor 332 CARL HANSEN

When Hans J. Wegner unveiled the design of the CH07 Shell Chair in 1963, many critics loved its avant-garde look, but the general public was reluctant to accept its distinctive expression. The mixed reviews of the 1960s and the less developed production techniques of the time resulted in a very limited output. When Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the Shell armchair in 1998, it won widespread public admiration almost immediately due to the interest of a new generation. The floating lightness of the design of the chair CH07 is achieved thanks to its wing-shaped seat and curved backrest supported by a frame with three arched legs. The chair's iconic seat and backrest are created from moulded upholstered veneer, cradling the user in generous comfort. The legs of the chair CH07 are made of several layers of veneer, and the two front legs are made of a single element, resulting in a unique and stable shape. The CH07 armchair is a clear manifestation of Wegner's belief that an armchair should always be comfortable and beautiful from every angle.
