Description
The Arne Jacobsen Egg chair is an instantly recognisable Danish mid-century design classic. Originally created for the lobby and reception of the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, it represents Jacobsen’s ethic of ‘total design’, contrasting with the building’s perpendicular surfaces. He was the first to design a strong foam shell, prototyping it himself from clay in his garage. The genuine Arne Jacobsen Egg chair is made by Fritz Hansen and is available in a very wide range of fabrics and leathers, all of which suit its sculptural shape, paired with a swivelling and tilting star shaped base of satin polished aluminium, with or without an auto-return mechanism. An equally sculptural Egg footstool is also available to order separately.

Arne Jacobsen, the Egg chair and the SAS Royal Hotel

The SAS hotel was designed by Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen for the airline Scandinavian Airlines System. It was opened on July 1, 1960 by King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid as the Royal Hotel, and was renamed the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in 1994, when SAS signed a joint marketing agreement with Radisson Hotels. At its completion the hotel was the largest in Denmark. At 69.60 meters in height, it was the first skyscraper in Copenhagen, and until 1969, the tallest high-rise building in Denmark.
The entire hotel – from the exterior façade through to the stainless-steel cutlery used in the restaurant and the Swan and Egg chairs gracing the lobby – was designed by Jacobsen. Since most of his work has been replaced by corporate standard fabrics and furniture, the hotel has been referred to as Jacobsen's Lost Gesamtkunstwerk. Only a single room has been kept in the original design. It has all of the original, green furniture and the wood panels on the wall: Room 606.
