egg chair

Details

In 1958, Arne designed the Egg for the lobby and reception areas of the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The commission to design every element of the hotel building as well as the furniture was 's grand opportunity to put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practice. The Egg is one of the triumphs of 's total design - a sculptural contrast to the building's almost exclusively vertical and horizontal surfaces. This organically shaped chair has since become synonymous with Danish furniture design throughout the world. Because of the unique shape, the Egg guarantees a bit of privacy in otherwise public spaces, and the Egg - with or without ottoman - is ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as the home. Our wonderful Arne Egg Chair reproduction features a molded fiberglass frame, fire retardant polyurethane foam padding, and covered with 100% leather.
