Plastic Shell Chairs

Plastic Shell Chairs

Plastic shell chairs are a popular choice for modern office breakout areas and fashionable dining rooms. These chairs are defined by their moulded plastic seat shells, often paired with various base designs.

The seat shells are sleek and smooth, typically made of durable moulded plastic. They can be found in a variety of colours, finishes, and shapes, often with ergonomic contours for comfort.

Moulded shell chairs can complement many interior styles, including contemporary offices, minimalist dining rooms.

They often come with metal, wooden, or even plastic bases in designs like four legs, sled bases, or Eiffel-style wire bases, such as the Vitra Eames DSR chairs.

In fashionable dining rooms, they serve as both functional seating and a design statement, seamlessly blending comfort with cool design.

Some plastic shell chairs include cushioning or upholstered accents, while others rely on their sleek design for visual appeal.

They are favoured for their lightweight nature, ease of cleaning, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for both casual and high-end dining spaces.
