A shell chair is a dining chair with a characteristic, rounded seat that resembles a shell or bowl. This type of chair offers great comfort and support thanks to the integrated armrests and curved backrest. Shell chairs are loved for their modern, timeless design and fit into both a sleek interior and a more homely atmosphere. They combine a stylish look with ergonomic seating comfort and are therefore very suitable for both daily meals and long evenings at the table. At Colenis we combine form and function into a comfortable shell chair that you will not want to get up from.

Absolutely. Thanks to the enveloping seat with integrated back and armrests, Colenis bucket chairs provide excellent support for the back and arms. The seat is often slightly curved and ergonomically shaped, which makes it possible to sit comfortably for long periods of time. Our bucket chairs are made of high-quality materials such as sturdy plastic, soft fabrics or luxurious velvet, combined with metal or wooden legs. Whether you are dining, working or relaxing — a Colenis bucket chair remains comfortable, even after hours of use.

Bucket chairs are extremely versatile and fit into many different interior styles:

• Modern & minimalist: Sleek bucket chairs with metal legs and neutral colours
• Scandinavian: Light-coloured fabrics, wooden legs and a soft look
• Industrial: Bucket chairs with rough fabrics, black metal and robust details

Maintenance depends on the chosen upholstery, but all Colenis bucket seats are designed for easy maintenance:

• Plastic shell: Wipe with a damp cloth. Ideal for families with children.
• Velvet or fabric: Regular vacuuming or light brushing helps remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and dab gently.
• Faux leather: Easy to clean with a soft cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents.

Yes, bucket chairs are a great choice for smaller dining rooms or apartments. Thanks to their compact design, they provide comfort without taking up much space. The flowing shapes ensure that the chair does not look visually heavy, which makes the room seem larger. In addition, many models at Colenis are designed with slim legs or an open base, which enhances the airiness of the interior. By choosing light colours and minimalist shapes, you can create a stylish and comfortable dining area even with a limited surface area.
