Arne Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, as well as many of the furnishings. For its busy lobby, he created the biomorphic Egg (1958) and Swan, which are believed to be the first swiveling upholstered chairs. The Egg Footstool has a comfortable curved shape that cradles the user's legs and feet. Rather than pushing off the floor with your feet, the footstool elevates your feet and in turn, keeps you in a naturally tilted back position. Original design and licensed manufacture by Republic of Fritz Hansen. Made in Poland.
- The upholstery is hand stitched to the shell with the same attention to detail found on the Egg Chair.
- The Footstool is especially useful for the user who likes to lean back and take advantage of the Egg Chair's tilting mechanism.
- Choose from three fabrics (Fame, Leather or Tonus), then choose a fabric color. Fabric descriptions below.
Fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane foam shell; satin chromed steel column; injection-molded aluminum base. Gabriel® Fame® upholstery: 95% wool, 5% polyamide. Leather: full-grain leather or cowhide upholstery. Maharam Kvadrat® Tonus upholstery: 90% wool, 10% Helanca®.

Arne Jacobsen bought a plywood chair designed by Charles Eames and installed it in his own studio, where it inspired one of the most commercially successful chair models in design history. The three-legged Ant chair (1951) sold in millions and is considered a classic today. It consists of two simple elements: tubular steel legs and a springy seat and back formed out of a continuous piece of plywood in a range of vivid colors. Jacobsen began training as a mason before studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts, Copenhagen where he won a silver medal for a chair that was then exhibited at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Art Decoratifs in Paris. Influenced by Le Corbusier, Gunnar Asplund and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Jacobsen embraced a functionalist approach from the outset. He was among the first to introduce modernist ideas to Denmark and create industrial furniture that built upon on its craft-based design heritage. Read more >
