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 Lounge 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 Lounge 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 and versatility. The black shell makes it a great statement piece that can anchor a variety of colour palettes, from monochrome to more vibrant schemes. It works especially well in modern, Scandinavian, or industrial interiors, adding a subtle sophistication without overpowering the space. For styling tips, pair it with neutral-toned accessories and textured throws for a cosy touch or set it against a patterned rug to create visual interest. Practical and stylish, it’s perfect for adding a contemporary edge to lounges, studies, or even bedrooms.
