    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.

    How much Fabergé eggs are worth depends on their age, condition and other factors. One of the most valuable examples is the Third Imperial Egg, produced in 1887, which has an estimated value of $33.1 million.

    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 ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell a fake Egg chair, look for its tag. Chairs produced in 2010 or later will have a red tag, while older pieces will display a brown one. Although the tag designs have changed over the years, nearly all Egg chairs show the correct “Republic of Fritz Hansen” logo. Some will also feature a serial number, which you can cross-reference with information shared on trusted online resources for authentication purposes. Next, look at the stitching on the upholstery. If you notice any creasing, folds or wrinkles, your chair is likely a knockoff. Finally, get a measuring tape or use a smartphone measuring app to check the dimensions of your chair. An authentic Egg chair will measure 42.1 inches (107 centimeters) high by 33.9 inches (86 centimeters) wide, with a seat height of 14.6 inches (37 centimeters). Chairs that don't fit these specifications are unlikely to be real. When in doubt, consider having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer provide you with a professional opinion.
