Shell striped by Paul

Hans J Wegner designed the  shell chair in 1963 but it took over 30 years for it to be a true hit.
This now iconic three legged wonder has now been striped by Paul Smith and received other looks and textiles from Maharam . It was made for the 50th anniversary of this popular rounded veneer  seat that also usually can be seen in leather at Danish Carl Hansen & søn that produce and sell it worldwide.

Paul Smith signature design stripes we know well. This world map is Paul Smith design for Maharam as well. Look at the close up underneath and see what the world is constructed of in this textile art by Paul Smith.

Maharam was founded in 1902 by Louis Maharam, a Russian immigrant. Through the generations, Maharam evolved from a source of theatrical textiles for costume and set design in the 1940s to a pioneer of performance-driven textiles for commercial interiors in the '60s.
