Egg-style seating without the hanging-chair confusion
Searching for an Egg-style chair can lead to two very different products: a sculpted indoor lounge chair or a hanging woven chair for the garden. The reference behind Madorne’s Ovo is Jacobsen’s Egg chair, not a suspended patio seat. Its sculpted shell, swivel base and listed adjustable recline define a freestanding lounge chair.
That distinction matters when choosing by photographs or a broad search term. Look at the support, seat height and intended setting rather than the name alone.
Ovo and Swan: two different room silhouettes
The Ovo 58 lounge chair measures 34.6 × 30.5 × 41.5 inches, with a 16.1-inch seat height. Its high back gives the chair a vertical presence as well as an embracing outline. Allow room around the seat when planning a swivel position.
The Swan 58 chair measures 29.5 × 25.2 × 31.7 inches, with the same listed 16.1-inch seat height. Its lower overall profile offers a different relationship to the surrounding furniture. Do not infer dining suitability from a generic chair label; compare your intended use and the actual seat height.
Coordinate an Ovo chair and ottoman by finish
The Ovo ottoman is a separate purchase, measuring 22 × 17.3 × 19.29 inches. Shared listed finishes with the chair include Burnt Orange Wool, Chestnut Vegan Leather, Tan Premium Leather, Light Gray Wool and Indigo Blue Wool.
Other ottoman options do not automatically have a matching chair in this selection. Vintage Blue Vegan Leather, for example, appears on the chair but not among the ottoman options. Check both selected versions when coordinating a pair.
Civic brings a straighter line to shared seating
The Civic 39 three-seater references the Mayor sofa associated with Arne Jacobsen and Flemming Lassen. Its higher upholstered back and wood base introduce a more rectilinear counterpoint to Ovo and Swan.
Civic is listed at 78.7 inches wide and 24.8 inches deep, with an 18.3-inch seat height. The different height and geometry mean it should be considered as its own shared-seating choice, not simply a sofa version of either shell chair.
Choosing Jacobsen-inspired seating
Which silhouette should I start with? Choose by the room’s sightlines: Ovo has the highest back in this selection; Swan has a lower, more open profile; Civic provides a longer shared seat. Compare the footprint before selecting upholstery.
Is vegan leather animal leather? No. Ovo lists wool, premium leather and vegan-leather options as separate choices. Check the selected material and care guidance, or get expert advice. Compare other lounge chairs and designer-inspired furniture if you want a contrasting form.
Are these original designer pieces?
No. These are independently offered Madorne interpretations, not original designer pieces or authorized editions. Designer and model names identify the design references, not affiliation or endorsement.
