Fritz Hansen Egg Chair - Leather

Created by Arne Jacobsen in 1958, the Egg Chair formed part of his ambitious design vision for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen.

Commissioned to oversee the entire project, Jacobsen approached the hotel as a complete design concept, bringing together the architecture, interior spaces, furniture and finishing details. The Egg Chair was a key element of this carefully considered environment, reflecting his distinctive approach to creating harmony between architecture and furniture design.

To create the Egg Chair, Jacobsen explored different forms using wire and plaster in his garage, taking a sculptural approach to developing its proportions and contours. Through repeated experimentation and refinement, he arrived at the distinctive shape that has become synonymous with the design.

Its generously proportioned high back and enveloping curved sides create an instantly recognisable profile. The fluid, organic silhouette also introduces a softer visual element, offering a striking contrast to the clean, linear geometry of contemporary interiors.

Yes this is the licensed design and 100% authentic. No replicas, no compromises just designs made to last.
