Arne Jacobson Vintage 'Egg' Chair in White Leather for Fritz Hansen
-
Description
The classic and iconic 'Egg' chair designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, Denmark, 1958. Newly refurbished and reupholstered in a luxurious creamy/white leather from Maharam. Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen, 1958 Labeled and numbered. The Egg was originally designed in 1958 for the lobby of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The Egg's curved shape was quite unusual for its time and it came about because of an equally unusual reason: Jacobsen wanted the interior of the hotel to be a direct contrast to the modernist exterior.
The ‘Egg’ Chair was the most outstanding part of his entire hotel design and has become a design classic with global success. It broke all design conventions with its curving shape, which Jacobsen was able to achieve by moulding the inner structure out of foam and covering it with upholstery. Comfort is the primary benefit and the main selling point of an egg chair. It has high sides and a cradling, cushioned seat for prolonged sitting. - More Information
