Hans Wegner Shell Chair 3D model

This is a 3D model of Hans Wegner's Shell Chair created on Solidworks. Sometimes called the “smiling chair,” Hans Wegner’s Shell Chair (1963) achieves a floating lightness with its wing-like seat and arching curved legs. It stands on only three legs, but Shell has absolute stability, owing to Wegner’s expertise in cabinetmaking and architecture. His belief that a chair “should be beautiful from all sides and angles” is especially evident here, a marvel of grace and beauty.
