Arne Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, as well as many of the furnishings. For its busy lobby, he created the biomorphic Egg (1958) a curvaceous chair that balanced the angular appearance of the building. At a time when others were experimenting with bent tubular steel, Jacobsen focused on the upholstered armchair, believing a solution existed that was a refuge but still true to modern ideals. Indeed, he met that goal in creating the Egg. Set on a rotating base, the Egg Chair allows sitters to swivel toward a conversation area or away from others if privacy is desired – a nice option to have in a public area – or tilt back for relaxed lounging. More than 50 years after its design, the Egg Chair is still used in advertising, film and television as a symbol of sophisticated urbanism. This authentic Egg Chair and Ottoman is manufactured by Republic of Fritz Hansen. Made in Poland.
