You can find the original ones, manufactured by Fritz Hansen, at Space Furniture. Not sure about the price range though. If you're looking for knockoffs, there are some at Evov and Lush, both of which I feel are comparable in terms of quality.

You can also try Studio 1961, can google them online. Bought the egg chair and barcelona sofa from them, after 3 years, still look great!

the problem with group buy is that if there are defects how to rectify - have to send back to China? But if the actual savings for swan is more than $100 (i.e GST/freight+chari), I would be interested in getting another and take my chances. But Egg more risky, more complicated chair, more things can go wrong (eg: the lever can come off... )

You can definitely try going for a group buy in china but provided you have been to china and view their chair and order and ship from there when you were there. Many versions of the eggchairs are around and quality really deviates from each other.

When there is problem with the chair, rest assured that they will not respond much to you unless you are gonna order from them again.

This is china, i have my bad fair share in ordering from them already.

I rather spend abit more to buy from singapore directly.

My 2 cents worth!

cheers!

I've been looking for an egg chair for some time and finally got one from www.thedesignerchair.com. I've got it in "Premium leather", so I can't speak about fabric, but for leather the quality is very good, better than the one in Lush and in IMM. The size, shape, foot are like the original and I'm very happy with the leather quality and stitching. I've waited 7 weeks for mine - I think they make to order, like most of the other shops.

Hi Jo27...can you share more? Wht's the damage?...How's the buying experience?...Warranty?... The price looks steep on the website to me.... how's delivery like and quality like... I am also looking to buy some chairs... .... 7 weeks seems a long wait... any existing stock they carry....?

[tailgas 0]

Oh.. did they have a showrrom or is online store?

[tailgas 0]

wait.... i feel a bit strange... replying to a thread sudden replied 2 years after.... are you from the designer chair... sorry i can't help but ask... dn't mean harm... is studio 1961 the designer chair too...? since someone says soulite is from studio 1961...?

They don't have a showroom, just an office in battery road. I ordered the chair on their website, got an e-mail confirmation. I went to pay by cheque at their office. I buy a lot of stuff on internet so I'm quite ok with the no-showroom when the price is cheaper.

The delay is quite long but i was quoted the same at Lush and Picket and rail... I guess they all make to order at the end. Someone from the company called me to arrange the delivery. The chair was in a box, wrapped and with protections on the feet and on the top.

The chair feels solid, it has the tilt and swivel (a detail but it's important for me). The leather is very soft, fine grain and relatively matt. The stiching is clean. I'm not an expert but I would not make the difference with an original.

Tailgas, to answer your question, no, I don't work for them ! I've just bought a chair ;0) and I don't think they are linked to Studio 61, the two companies have quite different catalogs.
