Alexander McQueen Debuts Limited-Edition Egg Chair
Alexander McQueen is taking his talent from the runway to your living room. The Egg Chair, which he created in 2002 as part of his store design — not to be confused with Arne Jacobsen's Egg Chair — will be produced in a limited-edition run of five chairs, available to buy this month in his London and New York boutiques. The chairs will feature his iconic houndstooth print from the AW09/10 women's collection, "The Horn of Plenty."
Cool Idea: Hanging Furniture For Your Home
When furnishing this year's Hampton Designer Showhouse, Manhattan-based interior designer Brad Ford made the unusual, and delightful, decision to replace sofas with porch swings. Inspired by Ford's out-of-the-box decision, I decided to check out some other hanging furniture that would look great on the inside of your home. While some of the choices are classics, others are definitely a bit more unusual.
This Just In: Arne Jacobsen's Classic Egg Chair Reimagined
To celebrate 50 years of the iconic Arne Jacobsen Egg chair, artist Tal R has created 50 unique designs of the chair, which were revealed this past week at the furniture fair in Milan. The 50 designs will be exhibited at Galleria Carla Sozzani through April 27, and then will travel to galleries and museums around the world.
The patchwork-quilt Egg chair designs are made from materials collected in such far corners as Istanbul and Denmark.
Crave Worthy: The Lobster Chair
Just as the Egg Chair celebrates its 50th year, it's only fitting that an equally delightful, yet derivative, design come to shore. Welcome the Lobster Chair (inquire for price). Created by yet another Danish firm, Lund & Paarmann, "Lobster" looks suspiciously similar to Mr. Egg Chair, but exudes the crustacean confidence and craftsmanship that you'll just want to get your claws into.
This Just In: Happy 50th Mr. Egg Chair!

The limited-edition collection will debut a chocolate-brown suede back and chocolate-brown leather upholstery, and a hand-polished, solid-bronze base. Each chair will be marked with a unique number and brief history of the celebrated design, and be accompanied by a limited-edition 50th anniversary book.

Sex and the City: Carrie's Marvelous Mexico Egg Chair
While I'm absolutely in love with Carrie's new apartment, there are many other aspects of the Sex and the City movie set that I'm equally in love with. One of these would have to be the wicker egg chair from the fab four's Mexico vacation.
I think that this chair is a brilliant casting choice; its design perfectly mirrors Carrie's emotional state in this scene in the movie, and provides welcome shelter to her, even as Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte soak in the sun.
Before and After: Updating a Sun Porch
Su Casa member PrettyLittleWorld loves her new home, but she wasn't a fan of her sun porch. She writes, "When we moved into our new home over the summer, we knew the sun porch would have to get some attention so that we could use it. The previous design was just all around unattractive, and made the porch feel a little depressing.
Love It or Hate It? Palmetto Honey All-Weather Wicker Egg Chair
I'm on the fence on this one, readers. It's kind of cool, but it's also bizarrely spacepod-like, down to the porthole "windows" on the sides. The Palmetto Honey All-Weather Wicker Egg Chair ($1,299) is water-repellent, weather-resistant, and made from a durable-aluminum frame covered in wicker.
