The Egg chair is one of Arne Jacobsen’s results from his commission for the Royal in Copenhagen. The chair isn’t exactly so, using elements such as a large frame and cushions; it could also be classified as a couch. It was one of the first to incorporate a strong firm inner but yet still comfortable shell with a layer or upholstery. Though, the material for the outer layer was soon changed to varying fabric due to the flaw that with upholstery, there’d be quite an obvious seam down the middle. One of the first things one draws from the egg chair is that well, it’s a bit like an eggshell. With a design that’s focused on flow and curves, it appeals to the senses a bit more than the standard chair.

The sides of the base and top are curved far and inwards, blocking the peripherals which give a slightly higher privacy than the regular. The base of the chair is a flat stand for stability and a swivel for a 360 scope of vision. Arne’s egg chair as a whole creates a visual sensation that reaches out and draws you into comfort and relief.
