The Secret Of The Egg Chair?

Speaking of egg chairs, you may not be familiar with them, but you must have heard of the Nordic style~

The Nordic style has occupied the C position of the decoration style for a long time and has attracted a group of fans with the "three high" attributes of high appearance, high taste, and high practicality.

As a typical Nordic-style furniture, the egg chair often appears in various Nordic-style pictures and also appears in many film and television works. It is a well-deserved garden furniture internet celebrity.

When I saw the egg chair for the first time, a word flashed in my mind - cute.

The unique half-egg shape is why it is called the "egg chair", and the shape is round and lovely. In addition to being cute, the egg chair also looks very "safe". The generous back of the chair is gracefully curved, and with a thick cushion, it is like hiding in an embrace that belongs only to you.

In the 20th century, Danish national treasure design master Ann Jacobsen was responsible for designing the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. This is his first very famous monolithic architectural work. He completed the overall design of the Royal Hotel from the inside out, including textiles, sculptural furniture, interior fixtures, and more.

The Egg Chair was designed by Ann Jacobson for the hotel lobby of the Royal Hotel, which has a strong sense of sculpture as a whole. The back of the chair and the seat are smoothly connected as a whole, even in public places, it can open up a small piece of free space that will not be disturbed. The egg chair is part of the overall design of the hotel, but it accidentally becomes a sample of the Nordic style.

Influenced by modernist masters such as Mies van der Rohe, Ann Jacobsen paid attention to the design concept of "simplicity" and functionalism, and the egg chair is also in this design style. The simple and smooth appearance curves outline a large and deep seating space, with extremely soft cushions and a footrest of just the right height. Egg chairs are now mostly used as leisure chairs.

From the original lobby of the Royal Hotel to today's furniture network celebrity, the egg chair has been popular for more than 60 years.
