arne jacobsen egg chair
by Arne Jacobsen, from Fritz Hansen
arne jacobsen egg chair
Design Arne Jacobsen, 1958
Aluminum, foam, upholstery
Made by Fritz Hansen
In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg for the lobby and reception areas of the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This organically shaped chair has since become synonymous with Danish furniture design throughout the world. Because of the unique shape, the Egg guarantees a bit of privacy in otherwise public spaces, and the Egg - with or without ottoman - is ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as the home.
The Egg originated in Arne Jacobsen's garage - cast in plaster. Today the synthetic shell is padded with cold foam and covered with fabric or different types of leather resting on a star-shaped aluminium base.
Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. The Ant and Series 7 chairs, produced in 1952, propelled both Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen's names into furniture history. At the end of the 50's Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which introduced the Egg, the Swan, the Swan sofa and Series 3300 to the design world. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. His furniture and other design work have become a national and international heritage.
The four-star base consists either of a satin chromed steel column connected to a base in satin polished aluminum or a powder coated steel column connected to a base in powder coated aluminum. The inner shell is made of a hard molded foam, padded with a softer foam structure to increase comfort. The shell has an adjustable tilt which can be adjusted to the weight of the individual user. A matching Egg footstool is available in the same base and upholstery options as the Egg lounge chair.
egg chair: 33.8" w | 31.1" d | 42" h | seat: 14.5" h
