Tonight's Scand30: 1 Object is all about the Danish Egg Chair! Join UW Associate Professor of Architecture Peter Cohan as we explore this important piece. Designed in 1958 for the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen (pictured) by renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, the Egg Chair quickly became the iconic image of Danish Modern furniture. 🔗 RSVP for this free lecture at the link in our bio (click "Events")! 📷 Images 2-3 courtesy of Leslie Anderson, National Nordic Museum Director of Collections, Exhibitions, and Programs, from her visit to the SAS Royal Hotel in 2022: "It was the first skyscraper in Copenhagen when completed in 1960, and Egg and Swan chairs were designed for it [we have both in our Collection]. There is one room that is perfectly preserved, room 606...It [the hotel] is known as Jacobsen's 'lost Gesamtkunstwerk' because he designed every element, but much of the interior [except room 606] has been updated."
