The distinctive Fried Egg chair was originally designed in 1956 by the architect Hans Olsen. The Fried Egg chair stands out with its playful idiom, which in its very own way captures the zeitgeist of the 1950s, when experiments, bravery and skill resulted in world-class furniture. This roomy, comfortable chair was christened ‘Fried Egg’, because that is what it looks like when viewed from above. The flat armrest invite you to swing your legs up on it. As a tribute to the 1950s’ adoration of colour and love of teak, it has been relaunched in this type of wood. It has also been relaunched in oak for a modern finish.
To facilitate the ultimate flexibility when it comes to interior design, Fried Egg is now available in both a right- and left-hand version. This makes it possible to create a lounge corner with the chairs mirroring each other, creating a perfect spot for relaxed conversations.
The Fried Egg chair is available as a fully customizable piece in a variety of upholstery fabrics, leather, wool, and shearling. Wood legs and frame are available in oiled teak, oiled oak, and smoked oak. Please inquire for customization options, swatches, and pricing.

What is Scandinavian & Nordic Design?
People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden—and Iceland) obsess over high-quality design, exquisite craftsmanship, and sustainability.
From mid-century modern icons to today's emerging designers, they believe beautiful design improves lives and that intentional consumption can even make us happier.
Why Makes Scandinavian Design Special?
People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries self-report higher levels of happiness with their lives than than anywhere else on Earth. Despite cloudy, wet summers and long, cold winter nights, many there find a contentment most of us only wish for.
We are not suggesting that incorporating Scandinavian design in your home will make you happier (wink). But we do believe that making intentional choices about the objects that surround us—their beauty, longevity, and functionality—can improve our daily lives.
What "Scandinavian" philosophies & values?
Nørdikka Collective showcases classic pieces by iconic mid-century designers, alongside work by the region's emerging talent. What unites them is a timeless pursuit of design perfection: form follows function; beauty in minimalism; quality is luxury; and longevity is sustainability.
The term "Scandinavian" isn't just about our objects, but rather the philosophies and values the objects represent. Our partners revere environmental stewardship, value human-centered manufacturing, and work to preserve their cultures' design heritage for future generations.
