A marvel of grace and beauty.

Hans J. Wegner (pronounced VEG-ner in English and VAY-ner in Danish) preferred to work in solid wood, but occasionally he explored the use of bent plywood, and for that we are very thankful. Sometimes called the “smiling chair,” his Shell Chair (1963) achieves a floating lightness due to its wing-like seat and the arching curves of its tapered legs.
