Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958, the Egg Lounge Chair and Footstool is an iconic masterpiece of Danish design that showcases both innovation and craftsmanship. Originally created for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the chair emerged from Jacobsen’s deep consideration of the human experience. Designed to create a sense of enclosure and comfort, it remains a calm sanctuary in modern interiors. Today, the Egg Chair is recognised worldwide as one of the triumphs of Jacobsen’s career and a true Scandinavian design icon.
Sharing the same sculptural design language, the Footstool is made from a hard PUR shell, and the upholstery foam is moulded directly onto the surface to create a seamless form. With its fixed base, the footstool provides stability, and the curved design adds comfort when resting the feet. Upholstered in premium leathers or fabrics, the footstool presents an elegant appearance from every perspective. Whether in a public space or at home, the Egg series remains timeless and can be passed down through generations.
We recommend pairing it with the Egg Lounge Chair to complete the look.
