Originally designed for the infamous SAS Royal Hotel, Jacobsen wanted to create a piece that contrasted with the rigid modernist exterior of the building. Using a highly durable foam inner shell underneath premium leather upholstery, the Egg™ Chair boasts a striking shape that perfectly accommodates the user, creating a refuge of privacy and relaxation. Featuring a unique adjustable tilt mechanism, the lounger caters to individual sitting needs whilst featuring timeless aesthetic and soft organic curves.
