The Egg Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for Fritz Hansen, stands as an enduring icon of Danish modernism. Its organic, enveloping egg-shaped silhouette features high, sculpted sides and a deep, cocooning seat. This particular example, recently restored to a high standard, is upholstered in a boucle fabric in a warm, mustard ochre with a matte, textured finish. The backrest is accented by a row of six fabric-covered buttons, subtly enhancing the chair’s sculptural rhythm, while the four-star, brushed aluminum swivel base offers both stability and freedom of movement. The generous proportions provide comfort and a strong visual presence. Condition: restored, with no signs of wear; all elements remain faithful to the original design. The Egg Chair captures the spirit of the 1960s, when bold forms and innovative materials elevated design to the realm of functional art. Its enclosed form seems to promise intimacy and shelter within the open expanse of a modernist interior. The tactile, ochre-hued fabric diffuses light softly, while the aluminum base introduces a technical counterpoint to the plush upholstery, evoking the balance between technology and comfort. This is a chair that invites relaxation while telling the story of postwar Scandinavia, where modernity was always human-scaled. The Egg Chair may be paired with a minimalist sofa or a low table in natural
