Responsible for one of the most iconic pieces of furniture of the 20th century - the Rex chair - Rex Kralj's architecturally inspired, simple wooden furniture honours principles of true craftsmanship and timeless design. The Shell Chair is a simple, curved chair in plywood and metal. Each piece is only available for shipping within the EU. Despite its rich history - inspired by a legendary architect and founded in 1952 - Rex Kralj's timeless wooden furniture has a modern appeal, owing to its simplicity, emphasis on functionality and accomplished craftsmanship. The Shell Chair was first designed in 1956 and fast became an iconic piece of furniture, thanks to its two bent plywood panels that form a comfortable, curved backrest and seat. Sitting on a sturdy, simple metal frame, it's got a mid-century meets industrial aesthetic - an iconic choice for your dining room or home office.
I love this chair for its sleek, minimalist design that adds a modern touch to any dining space. Its black shell makes it versatile, working well in both contemporary and industrial interiors, as well as more pared-back Scandi styles when paired with lighter wooden tables and soft textiles. Practical styling tips include adding colourful or textured cushions for comfort or contrasting it with a light wood or marble table to create visual interest. It’s also a great choice for smaller dining rooms or open-plan areas where a clean, uncluttered look is desired. Overall, it’s a stylish, functional piece that can effortlessly enhance various interior aesthetics.
