Hanging Egg Chair

Designed by

Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel

1959

In 1958, Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg and the following year Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel designed the wicker chair known today as the Hanging Egg Chair - a refined and humorous statement. "By suspending an egg-shaped curved shell from a chain, they realized the chair as a coherent and floating form. Sitting in its hollow shell, you can let yourself be rocked meditatively, retreat into your cave and enjoy your view of the outside world in motion." (Hanne Horsfeld- ‘Nanna Ditzel’) Today, the Hanging Egg Chair is a Scandinavian classic and one of the most iconic of Danish designs.
