Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair for Fritz Hansen, White Leather, 1967
The classic and iconic 'Egg' chair designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, Denmark, 1967. Newly refurbished and reupholstered in a luxurious creamy/white leather from Maharam.
Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen, 1967
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.
Condition: Reupholstered. Newly upholstered in our professional studio in a Maharam creamy white leather.
