Arne Jacobsen intended the organic shape of this chair as a contrast to the exclusively rectangular surfaces of the hotel building. The sculptural shape of the Egg chair was made possible by the use of a then-new technology of foam shell covered with upholstery. Arne Jasobsen was the first to use this technology.
Egg chairs are swivellable and the base allows for rocking. An automatic return mechanism can be purchased at an additional cost. The chairs are now manufactured under exclusive licence by the Danish brand Fritz Hansen and are available in a variety of upholstery fabrics, including the popular Kvadrat fabrics, as well as top quality leather.
The price shown is inclusive of the upholstery version from price category 3, which is Essential Leather. Price and availability of other variants on request.
Together with the Egg armchair, Arne Jasobsen has created other subsequent, now iconic furniture collections for SAS Royal Hotel: the Swan, Series 3000 and Drop. With this furniture, Arne Jacobsen made Danish design history around the world.
