Egg Table
The Egg™ table was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952
to complement his Ant™ chair. The elliptical design today makes for an informal
dining setting or elegant home office desk thanks to its beautifully versatile
form and expertly crafted materials.

Arne Jacobsen |
Arne Jacobsen was born on February 11, 1902 in Copenhagen. His father, Johan Jacobsen, was a wholesale trader in safety pins and snap fasteners. His mother, Pouline Jacobsen, was trained as a bank clerk and often painted floral motifs in her spare time. The family lived in Claessensgade, Copenhagen in a typical Victorian style home. Maybe that is why Arne, as a child, painted the coloured wallpaper in his room white, as a contrast to his parents’ overly decorated taste. |
