Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1963, “The Shell Chair” is one of Wegner’s most iconic pieces. The three-legged chair achieves a floating lightness due to its wing-like lines and the arching curves and tapered shapes of its laminated legs. Sometimes referred to as “The Smiling Chair”, CH07 is renowned for both its lasting good looks and its generous comfort.

This limited anniversary edition is crafted from exclusive zebrano veneer (a first for the CH07) and upholstered in Elegance Special Brown leather, a supple aniline specially chosen for its rich colour and soft texture.

Only 250 pieces of this special edition will be made, ever. Each chair carries a sterling silver plate with its special edition number (the plate is placed underneath the chair).

This special edition will be available from October 28, 2008 – Carl Hansen & Son’s 100th anniversary.
