Created in homage to the timeless Fritz Hansen Egg Chair, our interpretation celebrates one of the most recognisable silhouettes in modern design while bringing it into the distinctive world of Maison Patina.
Each chair is upholstered in thick, premium Italian hide leather, meticulously hand-stitched and individually hand-dyed in England using our signature Maison Patina colouring process. Layers of colour are worked into the leather by hand, creating depth, tonal variation and a beautifully aged character that cannot be replicated by conventional factory finishing.
The sculptural, enveloping form provides exceptional comfort, complemented by an integrated tilt mechanism that allows the chair to gently recline for a more relaxed seating position. The rich, characterful leather gives each chair its own individual identity, with subtle variations in tone and finish an intentional part of the process, ensuring that no two chairs are exactly alike.
A meeting of an iconic mid-century form and Maison Patina's distinctive approach to leather - timeless design, reimagined through colour, craftsmanship and patina.

timeless pieces
the craft behind the patina
A slower way of making furniture — and the reason every piece feels different.
The Craft behind the patina
the craft behind the patina
Exceptional craftsmanship sits at the heart of every chair, extending far beyond what can be seen on the surface.
Each piece is dyed by hand using traditional water-based pigments.
No two pieces finish the same — the patina develops naturally, just like fine leather luggage or vintage jackets.
UPHOLSTERY & CRAFTMANSHIP
EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
From the strength and precision of the sculpted shell beneath the upholstery to the internal components, cushioning, leather, stitching and finishing, every material has been carefully selected and every element constructed to an exacting standard. There are no shortcuts hidden beneath the surface — the quality runs through the entire chair.
It is a piece of uncompromising quality, crafted from exceptional materials and executed to the highest standards throughout.
The hand-dyeing process
Dyed by Hand, Not by Machine
Each hide is dyed by hand using layered techniques rather than sprayed or drum-coloured finishes.
The colour is built gradually, allowing depth, variation, and movement to develop across the surface.
No two hides take the dye in exactly the same way — and that’s entirely the point.
What you’re seeing isn’t a surface colour, it’s colour that lives within the leather!
The patina
A Patina Designed to Evolve
The patina is created through a multi-stage hand-dyeing and finishing process.
Over time, the leather continues to soften and deepen in tone through use, light, and touch, adding further character without losing integrity.
The result is a finish that feels established from day one and improves with age.

Absolutely love my sofa. And so does everyone else!"

"Brilliant pieces of furniture, great knowledge and you will not be disappointed. I bought an armchair after a visit to his warehouse. That in itself was a great experience. A hidden gem for now. Thank you!"

"They really are wonderful and we are delighted with our new chairs."
