Skell Chair
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of acclaimed designer Hans J. Wegner, we collaborated with Mecedorama to create an "homage" chair. The exhibition "100 Years/ 10 Chairs" was held at the Palace of Altamira (IED Madrid) during the month of May 2014.

Final Result
Welded iron and curved plywood were the two main materials used to produce the Skell Chair. The morphology of the original Shell Chair (H.J.Wegner) was respected, while the iron was introduced as the modern approach.
