21 球椅/Ball chair
22 三角贝壳椅/Three-Legged Shell Chair
Design time: 1963
Designers: Hans Wegner/汉斯·j.威格纳
The triangular Shell Chair is one of the classic representative works of the Danish master Hans Wegner: it is usually called the Shell Chair.

The three-legged shell chair is also known as the "Smiling Chair" because of its gracefully curved seat surface, which resembles a warm smile. Its smiling seat presents a unique three-dimensional curved surface effect, as light and smooth as wings, floating and dynamic.

The unconventional measures such as removing the armrests and extending the seat surface provide a broader space for various comfortable sitting postures. The slightly raised ends embrace the person deeply, giving them a great sense of security psychologically.
The classic path of the shell chair was not achieved overnight. In 1963, when it was showcased at the Copenhagen Furniture Fair, although people had a good reputation for it, they only bought it. As a result, after a period of production, it was eventually discontinued. It was not until 1997, with the advancement of technology, that the shell chair reappeared before the world and won numerous design awards and the favor of customers in one fell swoop. New factories and new technologies could control production costs.

The reissued shell chair comes in a rich variety of colors, and its flowing curves make it flawless in all 360 degrees.

After half a century of ups and downs, the shell chair has finally completed the modern transformation of its formal beauty and also created Wagner's unique shell-like design language.

In Pop's world, even chairs can explode... In the 1960s, plastic technology and mass production had changed people's lifestyles in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. The popularity of cheap consumer goods has also changed people's attitudes towards daily products around them, and a mentality of "use and throw away" has spread rapidly. People are just living in the present - isn't it true that sooner or later this world will be destroyed and abandoned?


This chair is not a necessity for daily life. The designer didn't think of making it very sturdy either. Even a set of repair tools was included to deal with the problem of air leakage.
