If you are looking for a furniture piece that will be with you for a long time, if you want to infuse your home with timeless items that never go out of style and give it sort of timeless elegance, try the Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen.
The History Of The Egg Chair
The original Egg was created by the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in downtown Copenhagen. Jacobsen was commissioned to design every element of the building, from the walls to the furniture, including the cutlery that would be used in the restaurant, the lighting and even the ashtrays.
The Egg Chair was the most outstanding part of his entire hotel design and has become a design classic with global success. It broke all design conventions with its curving shape, which Jacobsen was able to achieve by molding the inner structure out of foam and covering it with upholstery. The elliptical chair acts as a cocoon around the sitter, gently curving inwards the egg-shape it is named for.
