Originally designed for the iconic SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, Jacobsen desired to create a piece that contrasted with the rigid modernist exterior of the building, prompting the creation of the Egg™ Chair, a design that is defined by soft and organic curves. The sculptural shape creates a refuge of exceptional comfort, emphasising the importance of relaxation and personal privacy.
Boasting an adjustable tilt mechanism, the Egg Chair caters to the individual’s seating needs whilst featuring a timeless and carefully constructed shell. Part of the Fritz Hansen Egg™ collection, the chair can be purchased on its own or with a matching footstool for maximum relaxation and support.
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen’s buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
