A few years ago controversial English rock band, The Stranglers, recorded a hit with the lyrics ‘Golden brown – texture like sun’ and their commercial success might well have been written to herald the coming of Arne Jacobsen’s Egg stool.
This little stool first saw the light of day in 2008. Its golden-coloured frame and bronze leather cushion make the stool a friendly place for you and your feet to rest on, even if you just want to take advantage of what this little furniture piece has to offer.
The stool should naturally be enjoyed together with its twin chair bearing the same name and golden design.

A career encapsulated by flirting between controversy and art nouveaux genius, Arne Jacobsen established global infamy by combining modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism. Born in Copenhagen in 1902, Jacobsen secured an education at the Royal Academy of Arts in his homeland, drawing all future inspiration with the study of leading architects and designers of that era.
Despite elements of opposition towards avant-garde principals and idiosyncrasies within his architecture, Jacobsen is most decorated for his work within interior, furniture, textile and porcelain design - praised for a clear styling and the successful combination of form and function. There can be no greater compliment paid than the sheer fact that some of the Dane’s work received classic status during his lifetime, reaching cinematic acclaim with the use of his pieces in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Arne Jacobsen’s use of propelled curves in minimalist fashion earned his furniture countless awards, including the 1968 International Design Award from the American Institute of Interior Designers, the 1967 ID-prize from the Danish Society of Industrial Design and the 1957 Milan XI Triennale in Italy.
