The Iconic Egg Chair By Arne Jacobsen

Designed originally in 1958 for Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, this furnishing has stood the test of time and come out with flying colors.

Yet, that is the farthest thing from the truth as a leather Egg chair in black can bring along with it a touch of masculinity that is refined. Even kids’ rooms are a wonderful place to use the Egg chair as the bright colors they come in are an ideal fit.

Accentuate with a Dash of Color

Accent colors are being used more and more as contemporary home owners are largely opting for interiors with neutral color pallets. Accent colors do play a pivotal role in ensuring that the white, grey and brown setting does not turn into a bland affair. A touch of sun-kissed yellow, a dash of bright red or a tinge of regal purple can breathe life into your living space sporting muted tones. This is precisely where the Egg chair comes in. Since the Egg chair is available in stunning shades and vivacious colors that vary from dazzling magenta to gorgeous green, they can easily be a part of your accent color scheme.
