Series 7 chair

This is an Arne Jacobsen 3107 chair, manufactured by Fritz Hansen. I just bought 6 of these (used) for a bargain price. I may actually sell them because I prefer the style of the 3101!

The Egg Chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 in his typical style, where there was no fear of pushing the material to its limit, and often using entirely new materials to make his designs come true.
The Egg Chair is a strikingly organically shaped upholstered seat on slender metal bases.
The Egg was designed as a couch also - though the actual piece was thought to be a figment of someone’s imagination. But only a handful of Egg-couches have ever been made. A few were made for the Radisson Hotel, and a few years back, some were made as a “special edition” couch.
The Egg chair was featured in the movie Men in Black and briefly seen in Back to the Future II, as well as shown in a promotional poster for Chicken Little as a reference to Men in Black.
