- Details

Modern elements of form and function are demonstrated with this Arne Jacobsen design, known as the Egg Chair, formally introduced as a signature Jacobsen chair for the Royal Hotel, Copenhagen completed in 1961. Combining a modernist design concept with the 18th century traditional wing back chair design, a refreshed modern idea may be realized. The swivel base allows the user to turn towards or away from a communal lounge setting affording some privacy in lounging.

Our Egg chair inspired by Jacobsen features a molded internal shell made of a fiber-reinforced polymer, not cheap plastic. For the upholstery, we use our exclusive North America made boucle fabric, which is 100% polyester with a Greenshield stain guard. At 250k double rubs, it is considered high performance. Our foam padding is high density, high resilient foam padding with a lifetime wear expectancy. We sew in piping around the edges for a clean finish. Another Modern Classics exclusive.

LEATHER CHOICES
Modern Classics Furniture offers two levels of premium Top-Grain Italian Leathers for this product (Smooth and Distressed).

All our leathers are considered equally durable and are ideal for home or commercial use. To read more about leather, read our A Guide to Understanding Upholstery Leather: A Primer.
