Egg by Nanna Ditzel for Pierantonio Bonacina

Designers and architects have long found inspiration in the shape of an egg with its pure, organic form. Danish furniture designer Nanna Ditzel is no exception. Her Egg hanging chair, for Pierantonio Bonacina, comes from a design of hers dated in 1963 and the woven chair suspends from a simple chain or a steel frame stand.

The chair can be used outdoors or inside if you choose and comes in a wicker or in Polycore in several colors. It has a shaped seat cushion in polyurethane foam and polyester fiber or in Filtren with a removable cover for comfort and easy cleaning.
