The Egg is the result of Jacobsen’s studies on harmony and fluidity in forms: originally designed for the SAS Royal Hotel of Copenhagen, The Egg was inspired by the form of an egg-shell to keep people’s intimacy away from the indiscretion of a crowded place like the lobby of a hotel. It is perhaps for its original purpose that the Egg chair still preserves a cosmopolitan allure and a sophisticated look.
The Egg by Tal R is a series that visually expresses the first 50 years of life of this prestigious armchair: each piece of fabric composing these patchworks represents a period of time with past and present trends, proposed to the public like a multicolour genealogic tree.
