REUPHOLSTERY · ARNE JACOBSEN · 1958
The Egg is the largest and most demanding of Jacobsen’s upholstered pieces. We reupholster chair and footstool with the same care as the original workshop.

ABOUT THE WORK
The Egg, model 3316, was created for the lobby of the SAS Royal Hotel in 1958 and has become the symbol of Danish furniture design. The high, enveloping shell is upholstered all the way round, and the cover consists of many panels that must fit precisely for the chair to keep its shape.
Reupholstering the Egg includes removing cover and foam, checking the shell and repairing any damage, new upholstery and a new cover. The tilt mechanism and swivel base are serviced, and the footstool can be reupholstered at the same time.
We recommend aniline or semi-aniline leather for the Egg, because it develops a beautiful patina and lasts for decades. Wool and other fabrics give a lighter look and are a good choice for chairs that do not stand in direct sunlight.
HOW IT WORKS
Write to us here on the page, or drop by one of our stores with the piece. A few pictures of the chair and the cover are enough for a quote.
We send samples or show them in the store. Leather, wool, bouclé or upholstery fabric, in the colour that suits your home.
The piece is dropped off in the store or collected by arrangement. We agree a delivery time once we have seen it.
You get the piece back, reupholstered and serviced. We stand behind the work and advise on care.
