Fritz Hansen 3316 Egg Chair Anniversary Edition Pure Leather 23K Gold Base

Manufacturer: Fritz Hansen

Designer: Arne Jacobsen

In 1958 Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This organically shaped chair has since become synonymous with Danish furniture design throughout the world. Because of the unique shape the Egg guarantees a bit of privacy in otherwise public spaces and the Egg with or without ottoman is ideal for lounge and waiting areas as well as the home.

This 60th anniversary salutes the silhouette of the Egg™, the Swan™ and the Drop™ chairs as well as the design hotel - the SAS Royal Hotel - they were originally created for. Today, they represent the essence of Arne Jacobsen and his time of glory within Danish design. A time we want to celebrate through a selection of exclusive materials, a pure and natural colour palette and a constant respect for Arne Jacobsen's original ways of working.

The serenity of nature was the starting point for the design process of the 60th anniversary. The idea was to unite the renowned heritage with a design that was relevant in time. The result is a design appealing to all senses with a mission to turn pure materials into personal design objects. The materials vary from the soft and serene PURE leather, the rich and smooth SERA wool fabric, to a 23 karat gold coated base, all of which will create patina and an expression of their own with time.

The 60th anniversary collection is a limited edition. The Egg™ and Swans™ chairs are available in a limited number up to 1958 pcs. (each)

Dimensions: Width: 86 cm x Depth 79 (95)cm x Height: 107cm

Please note this is a display piece in excellent condition, it is No. 342 of 1958 pcs produced and is an excellent investment piece. It is in a very natural leather that darkens as it ages to give it a uniqiue and beautiful patina.
