Today we will take a look at the Egg Chair, a egg-shaped chair that can be considered a sibling of the Swan Chair. The Egg Chair is also one of the iconic and popular classic chairs that still exists until present time.
The Egg Chair is a design created by the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen, who is also known for designing the Swan Chair. The Egg Chair was originally designed for use in the lobby and lounge areas of a hotel. The chair's design was inspired by the shape of an egg and features a curved, oval shape without sharp corners, and a high backrest that allows for comfortable reclining. The Egg Chair's unique design made it memorable and became a signature of Arne Jacobsen's work
For authentic ones, the price will be quite high, while replicas have various prices depending on the materials used. Some are made of fabric, wool, or even cowhide. The base may be made of iron or chrome. However, before thinking of buying this Egg Chair, one should consider the height of the house, as it has a high backrest that is suitable for houses with spacious and high ceilings. If placed in a house with low ceilings, it will make the house look cramped.
