This layer is situated underneath the upholstery, of which there is a variety of fabric and leather. The base is comprised of satin polished aluminium and is a stylish contrast to the upholstery.

How to Spot a Genuine Egg™ Chair vs. a Replica The Egg Chair is one of the most copied designs in the world. When investing in a masterpiece, ensure your piece is a genuine Fritz Hansen original by checking these four key markers: 1. The Wave Silhouette & Stitching Authentic chairs are upholstered using a unique technique where the fabric is glued to the shell and then hand-stitched with a "wave" pattern. Replicas often have loose fabric, visible tucks, or messy machine-stitching along the edges. 2. The "Hidden" Serial Number Every original Egg Chair produced since 2006 features a unique serial number and a Fritz Hansen logo engraved directly into the underside of the base. If there is no engraving or just a sticker, it is not an original. 3. The Tilt Mechanism Genuine chairs feature a high-quality handle under the seat that allows you to adjust the tilt tension based on your weight. Most replicas either don't tilt at all or use a cheap, jerky spring mechanism. 4. Dimensions & Weight Arne Jacobsen’s design is mathematically precise (107cm high). Replicas are often "chunkier," heavier, or slightly off-proportion, losing the elegant, organic curve of the original shell.
