Description

A true icon of modern design, the Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen remains as striking today as when it was first created in 1958. This particular piece, model 3316, dates from the early sixties and has been recently reupholstered in grace / walnut—a rich, warm-toned fabric that adds a character and highlights the chair’s sculptural form. It features a star base in brushed matte aluminium and offers swivel functionality.

Did you know that the Egg Chair was originally designed for the lobby of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen? Jacobsen’s organic, cocoon-like design offers both comfort and privacy, making it ideal for modern interiors that value both form and function.

Arne Jacobsen, born in Copenhagen in 1902, was deeply influenced by modernist pioneers such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. His architectural background and passion for functional design shaped the Danish Modern movement, blending clarity of form with human comfort. The Egg Chair is one of his most celebrated contributions to 20th-century design.

While the original label is no longer present, the place where it was once affixed is still clearly visible—a subtle yet telling detail that speaks to the chair’s authenticity.
