This model by Modernica is the only fiberglass Case Study Shell Chair in production today. For the first time since 1983, the classic 1950 Fiberglass Chairs, often referred to as the most significant furniture design of the 20th century, is being manufactured exclusively by Modernica using much of the original equipment that produced the original chairs.

Until now, creating true fiberglass chairs that display fiber prominence, and translucency was all but a lost art. Modernica's craftsmen are among the best, holding every piece of furniture that leaves the factory to the highest standards possible. Modernica reproduces hard to come by mid-century furniture designs of the Case Study House program (1945-66) which was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture. The program's chief motivating force was Arts & Architecture editor John Entenza, a champion of modernism who had all the right connections to attract some of architecture's greatest talents, such as Richard Neutra, George Nelson, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. One of the first manufacturers to rediscover and relaunch out-of-production furniture by mid-century designers, Modernica embraces the modernist movement democratic ethos. Frank Novak, who owns the Los Angeles company with his brother, Jay, explains: Richard Neutra, George Nelson, Charles Eames, they were all concerned with making design available to the masses.

A commitment to expertise and authenticity served the brothers well in their efforts to resuscitate obsolete manufacturing methods. Novak states: We tracked down the guys who developed the originals and then spent two years getting the process up to speed. These comfortable and timeless Case Study Furniture chairs are so well known that they are easily recognized by the names of shell chair and eiffel chair. For residential and commercial use. Can be recycled. Recycled fiberglass products are gaining popularity with green activists.
