Simon Ove Christian Ogilvie Spies (1 September 1921 – 16 April 1984) was a Danish tycoon, best known for founding the charter airline Spies Rejser, and its airway company Conair of Scandinavia, and for his flamboyant lifestyle and womanising, including the procurement of sexual services from young women, the morgenbolledamer. Photographed sitting in an Egg armchair, designed by Arne Jacobsen for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. In 1958, the egg armchair became an instant success and has reached iconic status that is hard to beat. Egg armchairs were created using a technique that Jacobsen was the first to use. A durable inner shell of foam under the padding. 1961
