Shark Chair - sha

Hans Thyge

The SHARK chair has a distinct, expressive character – almost verging on an animated design. Its slightly forward sloping posture together with the shell’s strongly curved, thin neck accentuates the chair’s graceful personality.

The neck and distinctive ’hat’ or head and subtle way in which the two parts executed in two different materials, are joined together, represent a total innovation in terms of technology as well as design.

The shell is manufactured in a beautifully shaped, injection-moulded nylon that also provides the backrest with an all together unique sitting comfort as the backrest has an elastic, soft flexibility and perfect lumbar support.

’The head’ is executed using a special veneering technique where the backrest tapers at the top. The backrest is available in a number of variants beautifully contrasted by the simple white or concrete grey mat surface of the shell.

The chair is available in two versions.

With a sledge frame in 11 mm wire Shark is a fully designed systems product – with options for chairs linked in rows, stacking, armrests etc. A new patented coupling system has been developed which facilitates a very fast linking or unlinking of the chairs.

Armrests can be retrofitted and have a comfortable rubber coated cushion.

The chair, with tubular and neatly pointed legs, has been designed as an all-round chair for canteens, meeting rooms, classrooms and conference rooms.

There is also a specially developed suspension bracket that can be fitted on the SHARK table, as well as other tables, to facilitate easy cleaning and storage.
