The most elegant Nordic design piece - Egg Chair

The Egg Lounge Chair designed by Jacobson for the lobby of the SAS Hotel in 1958 was an extremely rare modernist work at the time, in terms of raw materials, manufacturing methods and shape. Many guests who had stayed at the hotel praised this piece of work, so it became famous and orders came in one after another. High backrests surround the table to form a relatively independent space. Not only can it be used in halls, but also in indoor spaces.

The Egg Modern Lounge Chair is made of fiberglass inner billet and the outer layer is woolen flannel or Italian leather. The size of the seat cushion and backrest conforms to the human body structure. There is shaped sponge inside to increase elasticity and resist sitting without deformation. There is elastic sponge padding under the cloth or leather of the entire chair, which not only looks smooth but is also more elastic, making the sitting feel more comfortable. With four-star bright aluminum legs, the egg chair can rotate 360 degrees (with tilt function). Aluminum alloy feet and stainless steel feet must achieve a mirror effect and be bright. Coupled with the carefully designed chair head and armrests, the two sides are symmetrical, and equipped with footrests, it is more humane.

The Egg Leather Lounge Chair, like the Swan Chair designed at the same time, is dominated by an S-shaped curve, which is an obvious feature of Nordic humanistic functional design. In theory, it is rigid and dogmatic, but in form, it further softens the rigid and overly rational geometric shapes, turning the edges and planes into curves or wavy lines like "S", thus forming an "organic" form. Whether psychologically or visually, this form obviously has richer connections with related forms existing in nature. It has a strong humanistic meaning and is easy to be generally accepted by people.

At the same time, this work abandons unnecessary decoration. Transform rigid functionalism into an elegant and humane form. Great attention to detail to achieve overall perfection. It has since become a model for Danish furniture design.
