Original egg chair was designed in 1958, Arne Jacobsens instantly recognisable Egg chair was like its sibling the Swan a part of his foundations-to-soft-furnishings masterpiece, Copenhagens Royal Hotel (now the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel). While the hotel is uncompromisingly angular, the Eggs curves invite you to relax and unwind, aided by its tilt mechanism.

                  Equally at home in the sitting room or study, this magnificent armchair has a matching stool, and both are available in aniline leather or a cashmere/wool blend, and with or without piping.

                  Piping is a type of double stitching, which actually creates a narrow fold all the way along the edge of the chair. The first original chair was created without piping however the newer version of the original now also has piping. If you choose the chair with piping on the website, as well as material and colour you will see the pictures will change to your selection and you will be able to see the difference.

                  The Egg Chair (replica) does not feature a return to position function.

                  The original egg chair originated in Arne Jacobsen's garage - cast in plaster. Today the synthetic shell is padded with cold foam and covered with fabric or different types of leather resting on a star-shaped aluminium base.

                  Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. The Ant and Series 7 chairs, produced in 1952, propelled both Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen's names into furniture history. At the end of the 50's Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which introduced the Egg, the Swan, the Swan sofa and Series 3300 to the design world. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. His furniture and other design work have become a national and international heritage.
