If you like your shellfish, you will probably like the Mussel Chair. Of course, whether or not you have an appreciation for modern takes on retro designs would also indicate if this seat is for you.
Designed by Hanne Kortegaard, the Mussel Chair is particularly streamlined for families. Designed with both children and adults in mind, it creates a curvaceous cocoon of comfort for all. For the designer, the Mussel Chair "symbolizes and expresses the symbiosis and dependence of two objects – the shell and the mussel."
