For its golden anniversary, Fritz Hansen is launching a limited edition Egg Chair with engraving and book, here is an excerpt from the press release,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fritz Hansen will celebrate the 50th Anniversary in 2008 with 999 limited edition designs of the egg chair. The limited edition collection will include chocolate brown suede on the back and chocolate brown leather on the front. You can see the microsite for the project here.  The base is in solid bronze and hand polished to create a unique finish to the chair. The bronze base will darken in appearance over time. Each of the 999 Eggs will be individually engraved, under the seat cushion, with a unique number and a brief text about chairs history.

The 999 limited edition designs will be available to purchase in selected stores across the globe from Feb-ruary 1st 2008.
