Item number: 236212

Description: The Egg, designed by Arne Jacobsen and manufactured by Fritz Hansen, is one of the most iconic armchairs in modern furniture design. Created in 1958 for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Egg shows Jacobsen's ability to combine functionality with sculptural aesthetics.

The chair's unique shape embraces the user and provides a sense of privacy and comfort. It is upholstered in premium materials such as leather or fabric, which ensures both durability and a luxurious appearance. The inner shell is made of robust foam plastic, which gives the chair its characteristic shape and support.

The egg stands on a solid aluminum base, which provides stability and an elegant contrast to the organic shape of the chair. The swivel function makes it ideal for both work and relaxation environments, where the user can adjust their position for optimal comfort.

Arne Jacobsen, a pioneer of Danish modernism, created the Egg as part of a larger design task for the Royal Hotel, where he also designed furniture, textiles and even door handles. This holistic approach resulted in a harmonious design concept where the Egg stands as a central element.

Fritz Hansen, known for their high quality standards and commitment to Danish design, ensures that each chair is carefully manufactured and meets the highest requirements for both aesthetics and functionality.
