Egg Footstool
-
Product Description
Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg™ footstool for the lobby and reception areas in the Royal SAS Hotel, in Copenhagen. The Egg is one of the triumphs of Jacobsen’s total design - a sculptural contrast to the building’s almost exclusively vertical and horizontal surfaces. The Egg sprang from a new technique, which Jacobsen was the first to use; a strong foam inner shell underneath the upholstery. Like a sculptor, Jacobsen strove to find the shell’s perfect shape in clay at home in his own garage.

This classic footstool comes with a polished aluminium or powder-coated steel base. The snug upholstery is available online in a variety of luxurious fabric and leather options. For more options, we kindly ask that you contact the showroom.

Arne Jacobsen is widely recognised as one of the most influential designers of all time. Born in 1907 in Denmark, Jacobsen is best known for his outstanding contributions to mid century furnishing and modernist architecture.
