Shell Chair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Studiopepe
The Shell Chair emerges from Studiopepe's characteristic dialogue between architecture and sensibility. Its curved shell profile, at once protective and open, speaks to the studio's long-standing interest in forms that hold the body while holding their own as objects in space.
Wrapped in saddle leather and anchored by a precision metal frame, the chair carries a materiality that rewards close attention. The leather develops character over time, while the frame provides quiet structural confidence without announcing itself.
