The iconic Egg Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen in 1958, is a masterpiece of Danish design. This specific example, model 3317, is accompanied by the matching footstool, model 3127, creating a complete and authentic lounge experience.
The chair and footstool are upholstered in black leather and rest on a profiled aluminium base. The leather has been largely renewed, contributing to the durability and comfort of the set. The organic, sculptural form of the Egg Chair offers not only a striking silhouette but also a secure seating experience. The chair is marked with 'FH', confirming its authenticity as an original Fritz Hansen product.
This piece has a rich history and was previously auctioned at the renowned auction house Bruun Rasmussen. The set is in good condition, with a characterful appearance befitting a piece of furniture with such a provenance.
The Egg Chair is a timeless addition to any interior, from modern to classic. It is a statement piece that comes into its own perfectly in a spacious living room, a stylish study, or an elegant reading nook.
According to the auction house, the FH logo was on it (see Bruun Rasmussen's description and the photo from that time) and is still faintly visible (see the recent photo).
