The Fjord Armchair is Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola's take on Arne Jacobsen's egg chair with two primary differences. The first, and most obvious, is that the Fjord chair has an asymmetrical back, presumably inspired by the curving and asymmetrical cliffs that make up fjords, though the similarity is most apparent if the chair is viewed at an angle. The second difference is that this chair has no real armrests, while the original has curving, low-slung ones. The chair is upholstered in red wool with a subtle white contrast stitching over injection molded foam cushioning. Price: $3,300.

I like this colour, but for this design I'm not sure.

The Fjord series is not exactly take on A. Jacobsens's Egg chair or any other model of his - this is in fact a homage to his whole achievements for his anniversary and it is strange to say that exactly Urquiola is doing something like someoneelese's work. Her products are definitely original in thinking and attitude and that makes her so popular.
