CH07 The Shell Chair-The design was conceived by Hans J. Wegner – a legendary figure in Danish Modernism and a famous furniture designer, who had a great passion for chairs; thus his nickname “the Master of the Chair”. The form of the chair is rather ascetic, yet sophisticated and unusual. Its design embodies its creator’s famous credo, which claims that: “A chair should have no rear view. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles."

The Etcetera chair became a design icon shortly after it was launched by Jan Ekselius in 1970 and it has kept its status since. It has become a symbol of the design expression of the 70s as well as what you can do with naturally elastic materials such as bent steel and jute fabric.
