The Egg Chair, created by Arne Jacobsen, is called a style icon and a timeless masterpiece. The famous Danish designer and architect designed it in 1958 for the lobby of the Radisson SAS Hotel in Copenhagen. The unusual egg chair fit well into the interior and became a bright touch that was impossible not to pay attention to. After some time, the Fritz Hansen company, which produces the Egg Chair, received a flood of orders. Hotels, offices, fashion boutiques, private homeowners - everyone wanted a stylish and comfortable chair.
An egg-shaped chair could be seen not only in expensive offices and boutiques, but also on TV screens. The Egg Chair appears alternately in two cult films about space exploration - Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris and Stanley Kubrick's A Space Odyssey. The egg chair simply had no chance of being forgotten.

How the Egg Chair was created
Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen spent a long time searching for the shape of the future egg chair. He dreamed of creating something new and revolutionary, but at the same time stylish and comfortable. According to one version, the source of inspiration for the search for the form was the famous “Womb Chair” by Eero Saarinen. The hugging frame of the egg chair has something in common with this model.

But Jacobsen wanted to make a splash and at the same time feared accusations of plagiarism, so he continued his experiments.
What is a hanging chair
The hanging chair first appeared in the 1950s in Denmark. It was created by the famous Danish designer Nanna Dietzel, when she hung an “egg” with a hole for sitting in her apartment. These unusual swings became the prototype of modern chair models. This thing was unlike all the usual things: it hung and swayed, could spin around its axis and almost hid the person who sat in it from prying eyes. The artist’s guests liked the new piece of furniture, and in 1968 designer Eero Aarnio created a commercial version of the egg made of plastic.

History of appearance
There are as many as 2 “parents” of the hanging “cocoon”. They are considered to be the Danish Nanna Ditzel, who in the mid-20th century came up with the idea of hanging a wicker chair in the shape of an egg from the ceiling, and the Finn Ero Arnio. 20 years later he created the inimitable transparent “soap bubble” hanging chair. Further, this version of furniture was subjected to many modifications and improvements. New materials were added. Each designer contributed something different. To date, the number of original variations numbers at least a dozen.
