Product Information
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.Need a second opinion?Our design experts can assist with everything from swatches to sizing to pricing. -

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
Designer Profile
Arne Jacobsen
Arne was another Great Dane — a Scandi architect who spent his life dreaming up bold new ways of living. He was particularly fond of nature, and spent a lot of time drawing outdoors. A passion that would ultimately lead to the creation of his bestselling Egg, Swan and Ant Chairs for Fritz Hansen. Today he’s remembered as one of the Fathers of Danish modernism and enjoys a permanent position in art museums across the globe.



Brand Profile

The eponymous Fritz Hansen sits at the pinnacle of Danish design. It has played home to design royalty including Arne Jacobsen, Piet Henn and Hans Wegner. Since 1872 Fritz Hansen has been refining its unique visionary production techniques and designs culminating in archetypal creations which have shaped the furniture world. A true trailblazer within material development, renowned for their tenacious laminated wood first introduced into the collection in the 1930s. The furniture is beautifully shaped and functional, which seamlessly meets using innovative techniques and new materials.
