Molded plastic body is sturdy. Gold speaker connectors are on the back and out of the way. Surround speakers require a whole mess of cables, so once you hook it up, you won’t want to move it. Built for one, so all trips are solo. A complete failure in every way Solid with some issues Very good, but not quite great Excellent, with room to kvetch The iconic egg-shaped chair appeals to our senses for a number of reasons. It’s not only a nice bit of furniture, but also an escapist refuge, a retro-kitsch object and a vehicle for astral projection. But this particular egg chair adds even more sensual stimulation to the mix. It’s called the Sound Egg, and, given that name, it’s exactly what you’d expect: an egg-shaped chair with a blistering A/V system inside. The large, womb-like pod — which draws equally from Henrik Thor-Larsen’s Ovalia and Mork’s egg ship — is fitted with a ring of speakers around your head and a subwoofer behind the seat.
The interior is coated with sound-isolating open-cell acoustic foam. Climb in, crank it up, and you’ve got your own personal capsule for watching movies, playing games or just plain spacing out. Like the free-range-chicken tent at your local farmer’s market, there are several colors and configurations of egg to choose from. All the Sound Eggs are the same size, but you can pick different shell colors and padding colors. Choose from either a 2.1 or 5.1 system. In the 5.1 configuration, the left front and right front channels are aimed directly at your ears, the rear channels are behind your head on either side, and the center channel speaker is over your head and forward a little, just inside the lip of the opening. Each Sound Egg comes with a 110-watt amp, which is more than enough power to cook your head however you’d like — scrambled, fried or over easy. For the absolute ultimate in escapism, you can add a swivel-mounted arm for an HDTV. Climb in, swing the screen in front of your face, and you’re in the zone.
I tested the 5.1 system, listening to a variety of stereo and surround sources. The Sound Egg’s speakers have a really satisfying punch, not that far from a powerful, extremely well-tuned car-audio system. The secret seems to be the proximity of the drivers as well as sound-dampening padding lining the inside of the egg. Nothing bounces around, so the sound stays tight and never gets flabby. The padding also mellows out the highest frequencies, so you can turn up the volume a little more than you normally would without aggravating your ears. Perhaps best of all, the padding creates a heavily isolated environment. When you’re inside the Egg, you’re in your own space, visually and acoustically. You can’t hear much of what’s happening out there in the big scary world. And when you’re playing a game or watching a movie, the padding keeps your soundtrack from leaking out. It’s surprising how much louder it is on the inside than on the outside. Back in the ’70s, your dad climbed into his egg chair when he wanted to zone out to his Floyd records.
Now you can keep the legacy alive by climbing into one of these and watching the remastered DVD of The Wall with the volume cranked up to brick-smashing levels.

Aluminium / Indoor upholstery / Leather The Egg and the Swan chair from 1958 were developed for the lobby and reception areas at the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen designed by Arne Jacobsen in the late 50s. The technologically innovative lounge chair originated in Arne Jacobsen’s garage, cast in plaster. Today the synthetic shell is padded with cold foam and covered with fabric or leather resting on a star-shaped aluminium base. The Egg chair is also available with a ottoman/footrest. The foam for the upholstery and the seat cushion is cold cured polyurethane foam. Standard fabrics for the Egg include Kvadrat Hallingdal (70% wool and 30% viscose), Tonus (90% wool and 10% nylon), Bass (92% worsted wool and 8% nylon) and Topas (100% pure worsted wool) as well as leather.

For indoor use only Periodic dusting / wiping off is necessary especially for outdoor furniture. Metal furniture can develop rust if not cleaned regularly. Metal parts can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and soft cloth. Avoid sitting on the arms of the sofas and chairs as it exerts excess pressure and can cause premature wear and distortion of the padding and fabric. All fabrics snag easily and can be damaged by sharp edged toys, buckles, jewellery and domestic pets. Snags, when they do occur, should be trimmed using scissors. Under no circumstances should you attempt to pull it out. Direct sunlight over a prolonged period of time can cause fading and/or deterioration of fabric. When planning your room, arrange your furniture so that it is protected from sunlight. Clean your upholstery at least once a week with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner as accumulated dirt will accelerate wear and dull the colours. It is advisable to have your furniture cleaned regularly by professional upholstery cleaner as different fibres and fabric constructions require special treatment.
For sofas with loose-fitted sofa and cushions, we recommend removing and dry cleaning the same as required. Strictly avoid using bleach when washing your upholstery. Severe spills and stains should only be removed by professional upholstery cleaners.
