I'd much rather be unwrapping a delicious new chair than a foil-covered chocolate treat.
It being Easter and all I thought I would share one of the most iconic chairs ever designed in the history of interiors.
This is the Egg chair* (get the Easter connection now?) by Arne Jacobson, one of godfathers of modern design.
I love this chair because it has a certain feel of power to it. The high back, comfortable seat, free flowing swivel (brilliant for those Dr Evil or James Bond baddie moments)
But above all, I love it because its name, while being a little abstract, it so appropriate - sitting in this chair makes you feel coccooned and safe - a little like being inside an egg would I suppose.
