Funny. I like the patchwork. But that fits only at home.

I don’t know what to think of it really. It is a smart move because patchwork prints are popping up everywhere! We are going back to the seventies baby:-P.

Thanks for sharing your opinions! It is interesting to see what works for some, doesn’t work for others. It would be boring if we all had the same taste..

I think they’re pop and fun, really.

As I see it it’s all about publicity and this collection has deff. given “The Egg” a lot of publicity…There’s 50 different chairs and they’ll be on display in museums worldwide. Anyway…I rather have this one than any one of the patchworks ones: http://kostasvoyatzis.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/the-golden-egg-arne-jacobsens-egg-chair-launches-its-50th-anniversary/

These are not good! I’m the lucky owner of an egg chair, and although it’s beaten up and the leather is torn, I think it looks fantastic compared to these. I agree with Johan_vm – what were they thinking??

But thanks for the post all the same, Danielle! It’s interesting to see what designers come up with sometimes.

I think you are right. I too would go for original. These are way too much for me too! I hesitated posting the chairs as they are not my thing but was curious to know what others would think of them.

I don’t really get what they were thinking:
“it’s the Egg Chair’s 50th anniversary,
how can we completely ruin its legendary, simple design? Maybe we can wrap a ‘fun patchwork’ around it?”
No thanks, I’de go for the original…
