Questions About Broken Egg Chair
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    The Egg chair came out in 1959. Danish designer Arne Jacobsen created it along with a number of other famous mid-century modern chairs, including the Series 7, the Swan and the Ant. Find a collection of Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Arne Jacobsen invented the Egg chair. Designed in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, it is a Scandinavian classic that has over the years become a fixture of corporate offices. The Egg chair is notable for its overtly organic appearance, which Jacobsen achieved with craft-based padding and upholstery finishing. Unlike the furniture maker's previous range of shell chairs designed in laminated wood for Fritz Hansen, the Egg reflected a soulful new vision of modernity. Its finished shells were made of fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, padded with cast latex foam rubber and then upholstered with leather (or, in the cost-conscious hotel's case, fabric). Shop a range of Arne Jacobsen Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are several different designs of egg-shaped chairs. Some of the most famous are Henrik Thor-Larsen’s Ovalia Egg Chair from 1968 and Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair from 1959. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of egg-shaped chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The original Egg chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958. It was notable for its overtly organic appearance, which Jacobsen achieved with craft-based padding and upholstery finishing. With the Egg chair, Jacobsen continued his ongoing experimentation with synthetic materials. First, he devised small-scale clay models in his garage. The prototypes' finished shells were made of fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, padded with cast latex foam rubber and then upholstered with leather — or, in the cost-conscious hotel’s case, fabric. Today, the Egg chair is supported by welded steel tubing and is mounted on a lightweight aluminum base. Shop a selection of vintage Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    An egg chair can be worth up to $20,000. The price of an egg chair depends on the condition, upholstery material, and model.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if an Arne Jacobsen egg chair is real, check for the label. Newer models have a Republic of Fritz Hansen label attached to the fabric, older models have them attached to the base of the chair. You can also look for a sticker on the cylinder that attaches to the base with a Fritz Hansen label and a four-digit date. Shop a large collection of Arne Jacobsen and other egg chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To hang an egg chair from the ceiling, you must drill into a joist and install a hook. Then, attach a chain to the top of the chair and hang it from the hook. Having an experienced handyman tackle the job for you can help to ensure secure installation and reduce the risk of damaging your ceiling. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of egg chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Whether Egg chairs are actually comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, many people find that the curved shape of the frame provides plenty of support. Shop a collection of Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    Arne Jacobsen made the Egg chair for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1958. The curvy chair was meant to contrast with the SAS Royal Hotel’s straight lines as well as showcase Jacobsen’s eye for interiors. The Egg chair was notable for its overtly organic appearance, which Jacobsen achieved with craft-based padding and upholstery finishing. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of vintage Egg chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Whether an Arne Jacobsen Egg chair supports the back adequately is largely a matter of personal perception. Jacobsen did design the chair's ergonomic, dramatic curves to correspond to the contours of the human body in order to deliver a comfortable seating experience. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Arne Jacobsen Egg chairs.
