SINGLE BROWN STRIPED SWING CHAIR WITH FLOWER CUSHION | WF-SE3

With design roots in the swinging Sixties (pun fully intended), the hanging egg chair is a naturally chic patio piece. Perhaps the ultimate indulgence when it comes to outdoor furniture, its playful form offers an idyllic spot in which to curl up and relax, cocooning us as we drift softly in the breeze.

Given that very few of us can boast a mature oak tree to swing from in the back garden, most designs come with a sturdy metal cantilever stand. The chair itself is then typically suspended via a strong chain and sometimes a hefty spring, which gives a little bounce, making us feel both comfy and supported.

While a hanging egg chair’s natural habitat is the patio or terrace, there are plenty of indoor/outdoor designs on offer.
