Jacobsen Egg

Jeremy Green “The Red Chair” 10/09/16

A group of beautiful chairs in a light and airy space within the San Francisco International Airport was an arresting sight. These are examples of the Jacobsen Egg chair, an iconic piece of Danish modern furniture design that the word “chair” somehow seems too rigid to describe. The red leather contrasting with the black was a photographic opportunity but also a challenge. There were people coming and going, and finding an angle that pleased me was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. The color red has so many uses to us photographers. Back in the days of Kodachrome film red was a star subject or tool, because that particular film rendered that color better than any other film stock. Red and black go so well together. I wanted to stay much longer, but I had to move on.
