The Modern Arc Chair

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.

Materials

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.

Design

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.

Questions About The Arc Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Arc Chair arrives approximately 3 - 4 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Arc Chair can be returned after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Arc Chair ships within 7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Arc Chair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
