What customers say
Consumers view the Fritz Hansen Egg Footstool as more than furniture; it is a design statement. The consistent theme across reviews centers on the impeccable quality and enduring aesthetic appeal. Owners frequently mention the superior craftsmanship and luxurious materials, confirming its status as a true investment piece that elevates any space. While acknowledging the premium price point, customers feel the unparalleled design integrity and lasting comfort justify the expenditure, solidifying its reputation as a timeless classic.
Know before you buy
While it is specifically engineered to mirror the curves and height of the Egg Lounge Chair for optimal ergonomic support, its minimalist, sculptural aesthetic allows it to function as a standalone accent piece in a living room or study.
The footstool is available in either premium aniline leather or a high-quality wool blend. Aniline leather offers a natural, soft texture that develops a unique patina over time, while the wool blend provides a structured, durable finish with a more tactile, cozy feel.
No, the Egg Footstool is designed with a fixed star-shaped base to provide a stable, stationary surface for your feet while you are seated in the lounge chair.
For leather versions, regular dusting and occasional conditioning are recommended to prevent drying. For fabric options, light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment is usually sufficient, though professional cleaning is advised for any spills or deep stains.
The footstool arrives fully assembled and ready for use. You will only need to remove the protective packaging before placing it in your desired location.
