    What Fabergé eggs symbolize is largely a matter of individual interpretation. Many people associate them with power and wealth because they are rare collectibles, while others associate them with the Russian Imperial family, who owned several.

On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Fabergé jewelry and decorative objects.

    Arne Jacobsen invented the Egg chair. Designed in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, it is a Scandinavian classic that has over the years become a fixture of corporate offices. The Egg chair is notable for its overtly organic appearance, which Jacobsen achieved with craft-based padding and upholstery finishing. Unlike the furniture maker's previous range of shell chairs designed in laminated wood for Fritz Hansen, the Egg reflected a soulful new vision of modernity. Its finished shells were made of fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, padded with cast latex foam rubber and then upholstered with leather (or, in the cost-conscious hotel's case, fabric). Shop a range of Arne Jacobsen Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

    To tell if an Arne Jacobsen egg chair is real, check for the label.

Shop a large collection of Arne Jacobsen and other egg chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
