Wegners three-legged shell chair was originally introduced in 1963. A few limited series were produced, but the project soon came to a stand still.
The 90s brought a growing interest in chairs of more individual designs. The chair was relaunched in 1997 and fortunately the new manufacturer had been able to keep down the costs. These two factors in combination resulted in an increasing market, and after 34 years oblivion the chair finally got its breakthrough.
