NO TWO CHAIRS ARE ALIKE • EACH CHAIR HAS A UNIQUE SEALSKIN COVER

A DANISH DESIGN ICON

The Egg™ Lounge Chair in Sealskin

With this Lounge Chair, Arctic Import wants to promote genuine Greenlandic natural materials and challenge the traditional ways of designing with industrialised materials.

“This edition of the Egg™ is unique; each chair has a unique sealskin cover – no two chairs are alike, which brings us back to the uniqueness and natural character of sealskin”.

The customer can either request for Classic Leather or Elegance Leather on the interior seating surfaces.

The greenlandic Hunters deliver the Skins

The sealskins are provided by Great Greenland, which is the only company allowed to sell Green-landic sealskin within the EU.

“We have received outstanding help with the beautiful sealskins and the design process from Great Greenland.”

Great Greenland buys the skins directly from the Greenlandic hunters. Sealskin is already applied in Greenlandic accessories and unique fashion products such as bags, jackets and boots – designed by international designers. Great Greenland purchases sealskins which the hunters have to spare in their daily household.

Sustainable Sealing

The selling of sealskins entails the opportunity for Greenlandic hunters to maintain their origi-nal way of life. Greenlanders uphold the natu-ral resources, and the hunting takes place in a sustainable way as it always has been taking place in Greenland – as recognised by among others Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund for Nature.

Elegance leather

is exclusive leather of the fi nest quality. The leather has a natural surface, which mirrors the active life of the animal. Insect bites and scarswere a natural part of the daily life of the animal and the natural markings are part of the leather’sexpression and will be visible together with other natural markings such as neck wrinkles, beauty marks etc. Elegance/Natural/ Rustic leather tells the story about the unique life of the animal and provides every piece of furniture with its own distinctive stamp.

Elegance leather adds an extra dimension to the Fritz Hansen furniture. It is classic furniture; yet upholstered with this very natural leather the furniture also becomes a unique specimen.

In this way, we can offer the very selective and quality conscious customers a piece of furni-ture that is both classic and unique. Elegance/Natural/Rustic leather is a type of leather that requires a customer who appreciates the markings of nature and the natural look of the leather. The customers should value that the furniture will gain patina over the years and be-comes even more unique. However, if one pre-fers a more practical and uniformed leather with a more homogenous expression, one of our othertypes of leather might be a better choice.

Classic leather

is a durable leather and only manufactured outof exquisite rawhides. The leather type is pig-mented and lightly buffed. Classic has a strong surface fi nish which makes the leather very practical and protected against dirt and light. The result is a very uniformed expressionalmost without natural markings. Only wrinkles might be visible on Classic leather. It is the type of leather that can realize the customer’s dream of a perfect and uniformed piece of furniture.
