Arne Jacobsen originally created the Egg Chair for the lobby and reception areas in the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Read about the history and craftsmanship of this design icon in our article The Egg Chair: A Classic is Born.
The Egg sprang from a new technique which Jacobsen was the first to use - a strong foam inner shell underneath the upholstery. Like a sculptor, Jacobsen strove to find the shell’s perfect shape in clay at home in his own garage. The striking egg shape creates a unique atmosphere of privacy and relaxation, ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as in the home.
