ARNE JACOBSEN (Denmark, 1902 - 1971) for FRITZ HANSEN. Ottoman for the "Egg Chair", model 3127, design 1958. Early 1960s edition. Unlabelled. Square base of profiled cast aluminium. Upholstered in brown wool. With signs of ageing. Porous filling. Upholstery with wear and stains. Measurements: 43 cm (height). The Egg chair was designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen for the Radisson SAS Royal hotel in Copenhagen, and was published by the Danish firm Fritz Hansen. It soon became a symbol of modern design, starring in some of the scenes of the futuristic film "2001: A Space Odyssey". Among Arne Jacobsen's other designs for SAS Royal are the "Egg Chair", "Swan Chair", "Swan Sofa", "Series 3300" and "Drop Chair", furniture with which Jacobsen has written the history of Danish design all over the world. The Danish architect was one of the pioneers of the time in using new methods in furniture design, the Egg Armchair being a clear example of this. The iconic sofa consists of a one-piece, concave moulded polyurethane shell with fibreglass reinforcement, which has been covered with an elegant upholstery. The shell has an adjustable tilt mechanism, which can be adjusted to the weight of the individual user. The tilt mechanism is made of steel, while the adjustment handle is made of polished stainless steel. The result, a distinguished, pointed and unique timeless design that will stand the test of time. Architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen studied for four years at the Copenhagen School of Construction, then entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. His architectural highlights include St. Catherine's College in Oxford, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the National Bank of Denmark in Copenhagen, and the Royal Danish Embassy in London. As a designer, he has created furniture that has become classics, including the "Ant" chair (1951) and the "Swan" and "Egg" chairs designed for the SAS Hotel. He is also known for his 1955 model 3107 chair, also known as "Chair number 7", of which more than five million were sold, starring alongside Christine Keeler in Lewis Morley's iconic portrait. His other contribution to popular culture in the media is his designer cutlery, with spoons for both hands, which were chosen for the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" for their futuristic look. The key to the success of Jacobsen's work lies in its elegant and essential design, and it can now be found in collections such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others. The Danish firm Fritz Hansen, founded in 1872, manufactures original, unique, functional and innovative contemporary design furniture. It manufactures its products in its facilities in the north of Copenhagen, making each piece in close cooperation with internationally renowned designers and architects. Its collection includes the Egg Chair and Swan chair, the Series 7 chair, the Ant chair and the Oxford chair by designer Arne Jacobsen, as well as tables and armchairs designed by Danish designers Piet Hein and Poul Kjaerholm.

ARNE JACOBSEN (Denmark, 1902 - 1971) for FRITZ HANSEN. Set of six armchairs "Series 7". Model 3207, design 1955. Moulded plywood shell, chromed tubular steel frame. Re-upholstered in light cognac coloured Vacona leather on shell and armrests. Re-upholstered by a professional upholsterer. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen. Measurements: 76/44,5 cm (height). The 3207 chair is the evolution of the FH 3107 but with armrests. The model 3107, designed in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen and belonging to the Series 7, is by far the best-selling chair in the history of the Fritz Hansen company, and perhaps also in the history of furniture. The moulded seat is an evolution of the Ant Chair, an earlier design by the same creator, and its laminated structure represents the culmination of this construction technique. In fact, the visionary Jacobsen exploited the possibilities of laminate to the full to achieve the perfection of an iconic form.
