The Arc Chair draws inspiration from Hans Wegner’s iconic Shell Chair, combining a floating, three-legged silhouette with striking sculptural lines. Its gently curved seat and backrest are crafted from expertly steam-bent North American birch plywood—an innovative hallmark of mid-century design—paired with luxurious Italian aniline leather for a refined finish.

Rooted in timeless design, the Arc Chair remains undeniably contemporary. At its heart, it’s built for one thing: unparalleled comfort.

8-Layer Birch Wood Shell
The North American Birch plywood shell is crafted with a nod to the historical accuracy of mid-century design. Composed of eight meticulously molded layers, it showcases a 1.3 cm thickness, identical to the specifications of Wegner's original concept. This process enhances both the structural integrity and tactile appeal of the chair.

Genuine Aniline-Dyed Italian Leather Upholstery
For the seat and back cushions, we’ve selected 100% genuine aniline-dyed Italian leather, celebrated for its exceptional softness and durability. This luxurious material not only provides unmatched comfort but also develops a rich patina over time, enhancing the chair’s timeless character.

High-Density Foam Double Padding
The surprisingly plush cushioning delivers ergonomic support without compromising the sleek, minimal design. Each layer of high-density foam is carefully shaped and fitted to flow perfectly with the chair’s contours.

The Arc Chair’s three-legged, floating design gives it a weightless, sculptural presence. The curved seat and angled backrest are crafted to cradle your body, delivering both comfort and style in equal measure.

Part furniture, part art, the Arc Chair pairs its striking silhouette with ergonomic support, making it a standout piece that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Inspired by Hans Wegner’s Shell Chair

The Arc Chair is celebrated for its innovative, floating three-legged design and ergonomic comfort. Its gently curved seat and backrest combine sculptural elegance with everyday functionality, while premium materials like steam-bent birch plywood and Italian aniline leather elevate its appeal.

Crafted using advanced steam-bending techniques, it pays homage to the woodworking mastery of the mid-century modern era.

Rooted in 1960s Danish design principles of simplicity and functionality, the Arc Chair remains a timeless classic. Decades later, its enduring craftsmanship and versatile aesthetic make it a staple in both modern and traditional interiors.

Hans Wegner

“The purpose of design is to merge functionality with beauty and to enrich human experience,” Hans Wegner believed. Wegner’s legacy reflects this vision in post-war Scandinavia, evident in his iconic creations such as the Shell Chair and the Wishbone Chair.

His designs highlight his mastery of ergonomic form and craftsmanship, blending intuitive comfort with sculptural elegance. Wegner’s work continues to influence both furniture design and interior aesthetics.

This Is A Replica

This piece is not manufactured by the brand that currently owns the rights to the designer’s work. We do not claim any rights on any third party trademarks. Instead this is a proud replica of the designer’s work, inspired by the original form and made with premium materials. The best designers of the last century wanted their iconic designs to be accessible to all. But big furniture brands moved in, and artificially drove up prices.

We’re changing that. We’re recreating the best furniture pieces of the 20th century and selling them at fair prices. We’re making great design accessible to all.
