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. The Kvadrat 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. 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. Made in Denmark. Original design and licensed manufacture by Republic of Fritz Hansen.
