This striking mid-20th century acrylic egg chair features a molded, translucent purple acrylic shell suspended on wrought iron legs. Though the designer remains unknown, the chair's futuristic form and innovative use of acrylic point to inspiration drawn from renowned mid-century designers like Thor Larsen or Fritz Hansen.

While distinctly American in aesthetic, the shapely profile and emphasis on materiality also reflect scandinavian influences. The chair's iron legs provide sturdy support, allowing full appreciation of the seamless, sensuous acrylic shell. This rare example offers an exciting vision of mid-century aspirations in American furniture design. The creative spirit endures today in collectible mid-century pieces that fuse beauty, utility and singular style. less
