Hans J Wegner design vintage teak Model FH1936 shell chair with beech frame produced by Fritz Hansen, 1949.
The perfect blend of usable furniture and sculptural design, the shell chair is a true icon of midcentury modern Danish design.
Wegner uses the teak ply and solid beech frame in a way that clearly defines the separate areas within the chair, with the lighter timber towards the lower half of the silhouette providing the low chair a gentle lift.
The use of the laminated teak ply-wood for the shells was Wegner's only venture into using laminated wood at the request of Frtiz Hansen.
The series he designed for Fritz Hansen comprises of a chair, a dining table, a bench and coffee table only produced by Fritz Hansen
Wegner was not a fan and he soon abandoned the use of laminate in favour of his preferred material - solid timber.
Despite the lack of upholstery or padding, the chair is perfectly formed and offers fantastic comfort with the curved seat and gently angled backrest.
