Hanging & Egg Chairs

An egg chair is a broad term for the cocoon‑style seat, while a hanging egg chair refers specifically to suspended designs that hang from a frame or ceiling. Our collection includes both free‑standing hanging egg chairs and dedicated cocoon chairs, each offering that signature sculptural curve that wraps around you as you sit.

Hanging and egg chairs work best in spaces where they have room to sway gently without touching walls, railings or other furniture. As a guide, allow at least 60–80 cm of clearance around the chair on all sides for comfortable movement and a relaxed swing.

For free‑standing designs, a compact patio, balcony or corner of a garden is usually sufficient. Larger hanging chairs with full frames suit more open areas such as lawns, spacious terraces and poolside spots.

Our single‑seater hanging cocoon chairs are designed for one person and have a maximum capacity of 120 kg, offering a snug, cocooning seat for reading, napping or simply unwinding. If you prefer to share, some of our double hanging egg chairs provide a wider seat for two, creating a cosy spot for couples or a parent and child.

Always check the individual product details for exact seating capacity and weight limits.

Yes, our hanging and egg chairs can be used by children, as long as an adult is present to supervise. The cocooning shape and plush cushions make them inviting for older children and teenagers, while the sturdy frames are designed to feel secure under normal use.

For family gardens, free‑standing cocoon chairs or lower‑level designs can be a great option, offering a more stable, grounded feel than a fully suspended hanging chair.

Yes, our hanging and egg chairs are supplied with plush seat cushions as standard, adding an extra layer of comfort for long, lazy afternoons outdoors. The cushions are crafted from quick‑drying, weather‑resistant fabrics that are designed to cope with the British climate.

When your hanging garden chair arrives, partial assembly is required. You’ll begin by securing the base pieces with the provided bolts, then insert the tall pole and attach the curved top arm. The egg‑shaped chair portion usually arrives in two halves that must be connected by bolts and tightened using an Allen key.

No power tools are required, and the instruction manual guides you through each stage. We recommend assembling the chair on a soft surface, such as a rug or grass, to protect the aluminium frame. A second pair of hands can be helpful when connecting the two halves of the chair.

In some cases, the chair can be suspended from a solid ceiling joist or strong structural beam indoors, provided the fixings are suitable for the weight. However, this design should never be suspended from drywall, plasterboard or any surface that is not structurally sound.

For outdoor use, we recommend using the chair with the provided free‑standing frame, which is specifically designed to support the weight and movement of the hanging seat safely and securely.

To keep your hanging or egg chair looking its best:

• Wipe the frame regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, pollen and debris
• Wash the cushions with warm soapy water and a sponge, then rinse and allow to dry thoroughly
• Avoid pressure washers, harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabrics and frame
• Regularly check the frame for any signs of rust or wear and tear, particularly at joints and connection points

We recommend using a breathable, waterproof protective cover when your chair is not in use, and ensuring the fabrics are completely dry before storing your chair for the winter.

Our hanging and egg chairs are crafted from weather‑resistant materials and can be left outside during the warmer months. However, to protect the frame and cushions from prolonged rain, frost and damp, we recommend storing the chair under cover or indoors from mid‑autumn to early spring.

Using a premium‑quality, breathable protective cover will help prevent the build‑up of dirt and moisture, keeping your chair looking its best for many seasons of relaxation.

Hanging and egg chairs work beautifully in a variety of settings. In the garden, they create a focal point on a lawn, terrace, poolside or sheltered patio, offering a private retreat for reading, napping or enjoying a morning coffee.

Indoors, free‑standing cocoon chairs can add a playful, sculptural element to a bedroom corner, reading nook, home office or living room, provided you have enough ceiling height and floor space for the frame.
