CH07 armchair - white oiled oak

The CH07 armchair by Carl Hansen & Søn, known as the Shell Chair, is a prime example of Scandinavian design and craftsmanship excellence. The design, which was originally presented by Hans J. Wegner in 1963, impresses with its unusual shape and inimitable charm. Made from white oiled oak, this version of the armchair brings out the natural beauty of the wood and blends seamlessly into both modern and classic furnishing styles.

The CH07 Shell Chair impresses with its floating lightness, which is achieved by a wing-like seat and a curved backrest. These design elements are supported by a sturdy frame with three curved legs, which give the chair its characteristic shape. The upholstered seat and backrest made of compression-molded veneer offer a high level of comfort and invite you to relax. The laminated legs consist of several layers of veneer, with the two front legs made from a single element, which gives the armchair particular stability and elegance.

The armchair is not just a piece of furniture, but a clear manifestation of Wegner's conviction that a good chair should be beautiful and, above all, comfortable from every angle. With the CH07, you bring a piece of design history into your home that impresses with its timeless aesthetics and functionality. Perfect for style-conscious lovers of high-quality furniture who value quality and design.

Optimal use and care

Wood :

Wood is a living, natural material and should therefore always be cleaned as gently as possible. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth ensures that the furniture always looks good and has a beautiful patina. Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean furniture.

Solid wood furniture should not be placed near heat sources such as radiators and wood stoves or stored in unheated rooms.
Wood is a natural material and therefore no two pieces are alike. Small knots, visible growth spots and color variations are part of the natural appearance of wood. The parts of a piece of furniture are always assembled according to color and structure so that the piece of furniture is beautiful and complete.
The furniture is beautiful and complete. Color and texture can vary from one piece of furniture to another.
