ABOUT THE WORK

How we reupholster
the Egg.

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.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently asked
questions.

How long does reupholstery take?

The delivery time depends on the piece, the material and how many pieces we have in the workshop. We give an expected delivery time once we have seen the piece and the material has been chosen.

Yes. Furniture can be dropped off in our stores in Copenhagen K, Østerbro, Roskilde and Aalborg or collected by arrangement. Delivery on Zealand and to Funen, Jutland and islands with a bridge is agreed together with the quote.

Can you reupholster copies and furniture from other manufacturers?

Yes. We reupholster design furniture from Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Søn, Erik Jørgensen and other manufacturers as well as ordinary sofas and chairs. The prices on this page apply to the original models; other furniture is quoted from pictures.
