Egg™ Chair

The Egg™ Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958, is one of the most iconic pieces of modern furniture. Originally created for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen — widely considered the world’s first design hotel — the Egg™ was part of Jacobsen’s holistic approach, where he designed everything from architecture to furniture, lighting, and even cutlery. With its sculptural, organic form, the Egg™ stood in striking contrast to the building’s strict vertical and horizontal lines, becoming a true triumph of total design.

What makes the Egg™ Chair special?

Design heritage: Created by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel.
Innovative technique: Among the first chairs to use a foam inner shell beneath the upholstery.
Sculptural form: Rounded, organic curves provide a dramatic contrast to architectural surroundings.
Privacy in public: Its enveloping shape creates a sense of shelter, ideal for lounges and waiting areas.
Versatile use: Equally suited to hotels, offices, and private homes.
Enduring icon: A design classic available in fabric or leather, with a satin-polished aluminium star base.

A lounge chair with timeless appeal
The Egg™ Chair remains a benchmark in Danish design — bold, innovative, and highly functional. Its unique form is both a work of art and a comfortable seat, offering intimacy in open spaces and sophistication in any interior.
