The Egg Chair was first designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the chair, The Republic of Fritz Hansen had Danish-Israeli artist Tal R reinterpret the chair in 50 unique patchwork editions.
Using everything from denim, leather, corduroy, cotton, cartoon icons and pop culture imagery, some are aesthetically pleasing while others are hideous, but all are unusual.

The 50 unique artist Eggs were launched and exhibited at Galleria Carla Sozzani from in April of 2008 and are now traveling and exhibited in museums and galleries around the world through 2009.
