Do you have an Egg Chair obsessed relative or designer in your family?  What better way to fuel to obsession that to get them some handcrafted Egg Chair inspired art?.

A community craft site site called Etsy sells handmade goods from thousands of artists and that includes plenty of Mid-Century modern arts and crafts, After a little of digging I was able to find a handful of items made specifically to honor the Arne’s Egg Chair in all its glory.  A few of the examples include a pendant necklace, a custom Egg chair pillow all the way down to more expected custom prints.

The LA Times LA At Home section recently did a piece analyzing the Original Arne Jacobsen Egg chair to some of the new reproductions coming out.  It mainly focuses on pricing and a few design details like stitching but it still give a nice overview on some of the latest reproductions and how they are presenting themselves.  You can read the full article here.
