Many of Arne Jacobsen's best-known designs were originally architectural commissions. He "believed that 'form follows function,' and that every aspect of a building's conception and design should be integrated into a coherent whole." [Source.] The "Egg" chair was designed as part of Jacobsen's plan for the SAS Royal Copenhagen Hotel, which opened in 1960.
"Designed by Arne Jacobsen, Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen is the original 'starchitect' hotel. It was designed by influential Danish architect Arne Jacobsen in seamless Danish Modern style."

"Arne Jacobsen created the 'Egg' chair for the lobby of the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958, and it has since become a design classic. Its organic shape and curved lines work well in contrast with the medieval surroundings of the library in this Oxfordshire house. (Not to mention the rustic ladder, also stacked with books)."

"In the living room, a painting by local artist Ian Mulyana and bright accents, such as an Arne Jacobsen Egg chair, punctuate clean, modern lines. 'I think red lifts the kids’ spirits,' remarks Ridwan, the father of two."

"From an acid green Arne Jacobsen egg chair to a red sofa, color is the primary idea behind this intriguing design. Accessories with a well-traveled flair, like floral floor cushions, a sculpture and potted palm, complete the theme."
