The Egg Chair Dimensions Database: UK Room-Fit Data
The egg chair is the most mismeasured seat in a British living room because its published width is not the space it needs: a curved shell claims a circle, so the swept diameter plus recline arc is the figure that decides the fit. Our 2026 database sets out those dimensions in full, from shell diameters of 85cm to 110cm and the 10cm wall standoff behind, to seat heights of 40cm to 45cm, seat depths of 50cm to 55cm, and the full rotation circle a swivel version demands. We explain why a circular footprint uses a 90 degree corner better than a rectangular armchair does, why shell height should stay below the window line in rooms under 3.5m, and why one shell chair is almost always the right number.
