Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg Chair in 1958 for the lobby and reception areas at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Arne Jacobsen actually developed the shell of the Egg Chair in the garage of his home. The Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair is another example of the movement in design to adapt more organic forms into our living spaces. The Egg Chair continues to be one of Arne Jacobsen's most popular designs, mixing organic forms along with comfort.

This high quality reproduction is of polyurethane foam with fiberglass reinforcement. The shell has an adjustable tilt which can be adjusted to the weight of the individual user. The base consists of a satin-polished, welded steel tube and a 4-star base in injection molded aluminium. The Egg may be upholstered with fabric or leather.

Bauhaus2YourHouse offers the Egg Chair with a variety of Maharam fabrics.  These are high quality fabrics made for both residential and contract use. While Kvadrat Tinta is our standard and what's shown on our website, other Maraham fabrics are available for a slight upcharge (including Tonus, Hallingdal, Topas, Divina Melange, Flora, Happy, and Prince) -- please inquire. 

Arne Jacobsen has become known as one of Denmark's most famous designers.  His work in the area of architecture, furniture design, glassware, flatware and many other day-today use items allowed him to make his mark as one of the great contributors to Danish Modernism.
