The Fried Egg is a unique asymmetrical armchair designed in 1956 by the highly acclaimed Danish architect, Hans Olsen. In this memorable design, Olsen was not afraid to combine classic values with a little humour.
Fried Egg received well-deserved attention when it was presented at the Cabinetmakers’ Guild Furniture Exhibition in Copenhagen in 1956. Today, the design is considered just as playful and edgy as when it was first conceived.
