Modernica and 100 Thieves cover Case Study shell chairs in Pokémon porcelain artwork

by creativehomex

Los Angeles furniture maker Modernica has collaborated with 100 Thieves and Pokémon on four fibreglass shell chairs decorated with blue-and-white artwork of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pikachu.

The Pokémon + 100 Thieves by Modernica collection places the four original Kanto starters on the Case Study Fiberglass Shell chair. 100 Thieves, a Los Angeles lifestyle and gaming brand, has previously worked with Pokémon on apparel, and this release extends the partnership into furniture.

A 1948 chair as canvas

The Case Study shell was originally designed in 1948 for the International Design Competition organised by MoMA, and is regarded as a landmark of postwar American modernism. Each chair is handmade at Modernica’s factory in Los Angeles and sits on an Eiffel-style metal base.

Porcelain-inspired illustration

The artwork covers the whole shell in blue and white, in the manner of fine china. Bulbasaur sits beside a large tree in a woodland scene, Charmander stands among rock formations and flowering plants, and Squirtle appears against a wide landscape. Pikachu is shown in a grassy clearing framed by mountains and trees.

The designs also refer to each character’s type, with plant textures, flames, water and lightning worked into the patterns.

Release

The collection is released on 25 September 2026 exclusively through 100 Thieves. Each chair is priced at $725 and produced in limited quantities.
