What customers say
Consumers consistently celebrate the Egg Chair's timeless, sculptural design, viewing it as a significant artistic investment rather than mere seating.

Although the cost is substantial, buyers affirm the long term value derived from owning an authentic piece of design history.
Know before you buy
This piece features the original manufacturer's stamp from Republic of Fritz Hansen, which serves as the primary mark of authenticity for vintage Arne Jacobsen designs.
At over 57 years old, the chair shows expected signs of wear consistent with its age. While the upholstery remains in excellent shape, you should anticipate minor blemishes that reflect its history rather than a brand-new factory finish.
The Egg Chair measures 35 inches wide, 37 inches deep, and 42 inches high. Because of its sculptural, high-back silhouette, it functions best as a standalone statement piece rather than tucked into a tight corner.
The original upholstery has been well-preserved and remains in excellent condition for its age. However, vintage textiles may have slight variations in texture or color compared to modern fabric production.
By choosing this pre-owned designer chair, you are extending the lifecycle of a high-quality product and offsetting approximately 61 pounds of CO2 emissions that would otherwise be generated by manufacturing a new piece of furniture.
