Egg chair – a timeless classic furniture design for the home

 

The Egg Chair, created in 1958 by the designer and sculptor Arne Jacobsen, has not lost its popularity for more than 50 years. It was first introduced when Jacobsen received an order to design a unique reclining lounge armchair for the Royal Hotel in Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen (nowadays Radisson Blu Royal Hotel). The unique smooth shape of the design quite organically fit into the surroundings of the lobby and since then is a symbol of the Danish furniture design throughout the world.

The authentic design has sleek, contoured and flawless line. The initial design was in a bright red color. Later all sorts of high-quality materials are used and today it is manufactured with upholstery from fabric or leather. Due to its shape the design always protects the person from the background noise and provides convenience and comfort. An additional ottoman can serve as a foot rest. The Egg armchair has become a real symbol of the era, its shape is recognizable and familiar even to those who are not interested in the history of design and the name of Arne Jacobsen means nothing to them. Due to the simplicity and elegance, the armchair still has not lost its popularity. Now it is produced by Fritz Hansen, Louis Poulsen, Georg Jensen, Stelton.

The design of the hanging egg armachair features the sleek lines of the original. Just like the original of Arne Jacobsen, the hanging version which appeared later immediately became tremendously popular. The hanging armchairs are suitable for indoor or outdoor use. They are weather resistant and ideal for the patio, garden or backyard. Indoors, the hanging design used in bedrooms, living rooms and is an enjoyable piece of furniture.
