THE CHO7 SMILE CHAIR, BY HANS J WEGNER, FOR CARL HANSEN & SON, DANISH, bearing label (serial no. 406449), 74cm (h) x 92cm (w) x 70cm (d).
Hans J. Wegner was regarded as a master of the chair and unveiled the design of the CH07 Shell Chair in 1963, which Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced in 1998. The design's floating lightness is achieved through its wing-like seat and curved backrest held by a frame with three arched legs. The chair's signature seat and backrest are created from upholstered form-pressed veneer, cradling the user in generous comfort.
The chair's laminated legs are made of several layers of veneer, and the two front legs are made from a single element, resulting in a unique and stable form. The Shell Chair is a clear manifestation of Wegner's belief that a chair should always be comfortable, have no back side and should be beautiful from all sides and angles.
