With its organic shape and timeless aesthetic, it represents one of Jacobsen’s most celebrated works and continues to be a highly sought-after piece in modern interiors. The Egg chair is more than just a seat; it’s an experience of comfort, craftsmanship, and legacy. Its cocoon-like form offers a private space to relax, while its sculptural design turns it into an instant centrepiece. Handcrafted with precision, the Egg chair combines elegance with ergonomics, making it ideal for both personal and professional settings. This is furniture that doesn’t just complement your space — it defines it. The Egg chair was originally created for the SAS Royal Hotel in 1958, Copenhagen’s first skyscraper and an architectural landmark of its time. Arne Jacobsen designed every detail of the hotel, including the furniture, as part of a total design concept. The Egg, along with the Swan chair, was specifically shaped to contrast the hotel’s geometric architecture, offering warmth and softness through its curves. Each Egg chair is still handcrafted today, staying true to the designer’s original vision. See less
