Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg for the lobby and reception areas in the Royal Hotel, Copenhagen. The Egg sprang from a new technique, which Jacobsen was the first to use – a strong foam inner shell underneath the upholstery. Like a sculptor, Jacobsen strove to find the shell’s perfect shape in clay at home in his own garage. Because of the unique shape, the Egg guarantees a bit of privacy in otherwise public spaces and the Egg – with or without footstool – is ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as the home. Dimensions: Height: 107cm (seat height: 37cm) x Width: 86cm x Depth: 79cm. Materials & finishes: The star base is made of aluminium mounted on a satin polished steel pedestal.
