Copenhagen — the world's first \"design hotel.\" Jacobsen wanted a chair that would isolate guests from lobby noise while creating an intimate bubble. He sculpted the Egg from a plaster model in his own garage, testing the curves until he achieved the perfect shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by \u003cstrong\u003eFritz Hansen\u003c\/strong\u003e continuously since 1958, the original Egg Chair currently costs €8,000–€15,000 depending on the upholstery. Accessible inspired editions (€200–€800) replicate the iconic silhouette without the original Danish manufacturing quality. For decorative and daily functional use, accessible alternatives are more than enough. For a decorative investment piece to pass down, the original Fritz Hansen retains all its value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DPLbU1BdgB0\" title=\"Choosing the right armchair: decor advice\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:720px;border-radius:12px;margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHanging Egg chair: installation and safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehanging Egg chair\u003c\/strong\u003e requires rigorous installation for safety.
