Description

Fritz Hansen's Egg chair is a masterpiece by Danish designer Arne Jacobsen, known as one of the most famous classics of Scandinavian design. Designed in 1958, the iconic armchair has a distinctive, eggshell-like shape, achieved through Jacobsen's experiments with plaster and metal wire in his garage. The resulting innovative technique produced the Egg lounge chair that features a strong foam inner shell beneath the upholstery. The chair provides a comfortable and ergonomic seating experience, making Egg the perfect companion for reading, watching TV, or simply just relaxing in its soft embrace.

Also known as 3316, the Egg recliner was originally designed for the lobby and reception areas in the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Today, it graces public spaces and private homes around the world. The luxurious leather upholstery and sturdy aluminium leg add a touch of Nordic sophistication to any setting.

Arne Jacobsen

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is the most celebrated post-war Danish designer and architect. He graduated from the School of Applied Arts in 1924 and from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied architecture, in 1927. Arne Jacobsen worked actively both as an architect and as a designer and received many prestigious awards for his designs, including C. F. Hansen Medal and the Grand Prix of Milan XI Triennale.

Jacobsen’s most famous project was the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (1956-1960), for which he designed every detail from textiles and lamps to cutlery and furniture. The AJ lamps, designed for the Royal Hotel and manufactured by Louis Poulsen, are a fine example of his streamlined and elegant style. The cutlery designed for the Royal Hotel and produced by Georg Jensen, represents a stylish design that is still today much praised. Also, the famous Egg and Swan chairs were designed for the Royal Hotel. As often happened with Arne Jacobsen’s designs, they were initially realized for a certain project and only later put into serial production – the same happened for the AJ lamps, the cutlery and the furniture he designed for the hotel. Royal Hotel was an extremely important project for Jacobsen because he could finally put his theories of integrated design and architecture into practice.

Jacobsen is well-known also for the Cylinda Line range, designed for Stelton in 1967. Since the very beginning, Cylinda Line has been an undisputed icon of Scandinavian design and today the range is part of numerous permanent collections in design museums all over the world.
