Description

Fritz Hansen's Egg footstool was designed by Arne Jacobsen. The footstool perfectly matches the Egg chair – the height of the stool is actually the same as the seat height of the classic chair! Also known as 3127, the footstool shares the same curved, sleek design and high-quality materials as the lounge chair, but can also be used as an extra seat in the living room or as a striking interior element on its own. The luxurious wool blend upholstery adds a touch of Nordic sophistication to any setting.

The Egg chair was originally created by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the lobby of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The iconic recliner got its recognisable shape through Jacobsen's experiments with plaster and metal wire in his garage. Today, the Egg chair graces public spaces and private homes all around the world.

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.
