Originally created for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Egg Chair was Jacobsen’s groundbreaking response to the rigid lines of modernist architecture. Its organic curves were achieved through a pioneering molded foam shell, covered in high-quality upholstery that embraces the sitter while maintaining sculptural form. The chair rests on a polished aluminum swivel base and includes a tilt-back mechanism, offering comfort and functionality alongside iconic design.

Unlike many contemporaries who favored industrial materials, Jacobsen redefined the upholstered lounge chair, introducing a softer, more humanist approach to modernist interiors. This original Egg Chair is marked by authentic Fritz Hansen craftsmanship and was made in Poland, a production detail consistent with the company’s licensed manufacturing in later decades.

Whether placed in a curated living room, executive suite, gallery space, or luxury collector’s setting, this 1950s Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair is more than furniture—it’s a historical statement and a lasting investment.
