Where Cashmere Wool comes from.

Cashmere wool fiber is obtained from “Cashmere goats.” Historically, fine-haired Cashmere goats have been called Capra hircus laniger, as if they were a subspecies of the domestic goat Capra Hircus. Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under-down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called Guard Hair. For the fine under-down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After this separating process the resulting premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn..

HISTORY OF THE ICONIC EGG CHAIR

Originally built for the Radisson Hotel in Copenhagen the Egg Chair was typical of Arne Jacobsen's style and it quickly became a Mid Century Classic. Jacobsen was known for using unique materials in his pieces and was not afraid to take risks with the shape. It has been suggested that the Egg Chair design was actually inspired by Eero Saarinen's Womb Chair. Regardless, in many respects the Egg is a more complete design. An admired trait of the chair is the relatively thin oval body design. Its gracious curves comfortably surround the sitter. The high wing back makes it an excellent chair for curling up in with a good book. The egg chair is the essence of form and function. The Egg has appeared in movies, mags and TV since its birth in 1958. Among some of the more famous celebrities to be seen in Egg Chairs in photo shoots are Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot on cover of Vogue in the 1960s, and more recently Michelle Pfiefer on the cover of Esquire Magazine.

History of the Original Egg Chair Designer, Arne Emil Jacobsen

Arne Emil Jacobsen Born 11 February 1902, Died 24 March 1971. Arne Jacobsen is considered one of Denmark's most noted architects and designers. Worldwide he enjoyed success with minimal, simple and distinct lounge chair designs. Arne has long been considered one of the original creators of the internationally recognized "Danish Design". His accomplishments in architecture were significant, however his classic mid century furniture designs are what the world will likely remember him by. The Egg Chair, Swan Chair and Swan Sofa were designed in 1958. The original use of the Egg Chair was a lounge piece throughout the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which Arne Jacobsen was the architect. The Royal Hotel is in service to this day.
