About this deal

The development of the chairs for the SAS Royal Hotel was based on a new technological approach. Instead of a steel frame and wood, the chairs were shaped in a hard foam material that was subsequently padded and upholstered. Furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen secured the rights for this method in the mid 1950s, and Arne Jacobsen was the first designer to realize its full potential. In his development of the Ant during the early 1950s, Arne Jacobsen had begun to use plaster and clay in an experimental design process. Like a sculptor, he used these malleable materials to work out the characteristic shape of the Egg, creating a design with a harmonious sculptural expression that immediately earned it a central place in design history. Right from the launch in 1958, the Egg and the Swan were greeted as international superstars, as suggested by the opening lines in the Danish newspaper Politiken’s coverage of the new designs in 1958: ‘There was a major do at Fritz Hansen’s furniture factory yesterday – almost like a catwalk show with spotlights, flash photography and VIP guests.’ Since then, the iconic Egg has become synonymous with exclusivity and style, and today, more than 60 years after its launch in 1958, the Egg still frequently graces the cover of fashion magazines the world over. Hanging egg chairs have a richer history than you might think. The original hanging egg chair was conceived by the Danish design duo Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel in 1959. It went on to become a true icon of the swinging ’60s, thanks to its playful form and bohemian spirit. Offering us an idyllic, cocooned spot in which to shut out the world, it’s little wonder the egg chair has enjoyed a renaissance in the last few years in particular. And thanks to buyer demand, this once unattainable piece is becoming increasingly affordable. Indeed, with top brands competing for our attention, the egg swing chair is fast becoming a garden furniture staple.

Egg chairs – those literal cocoons of comfort for both indoors and garden – have become a major decor trend these last seasons, with celebrities like Sophie Hinchliffe, aka Mrs Hinch, as well as Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash leading the way! Most egg chairs will be made from a rattan weave. Rattan is extremely durable and can be left outside all year round. The frames are constructed using powder coated aluminium which is rust proof and, again, can withstand many weather conditions. We would always recommend buying a furniture cover, but the great news with egg chairs is that if you do forget to put the cover on occasionally, it won’t rot or ruin your hanging chair.If you're wondering where you can put with your egg chair, indoors vs outdoors, and how to style it, take some inspo from two of our favorite star influencers. While you'd traditionally picture an egg chair to be hanging from a tree, for those of us without a garden filled with mature oaks, most designs come with a heavy metal cantilever stand, typically crafted from iron or powder-coated steel, while the chair itself is usually suspended via a chunky chain, which can be adjusted to suit the height of the sitter. That said, you don’t need to worry about keeping your feet on the ground, a hanging egg chair is positively designed for curling up in, preferably with a good book and a large glass of something refreshing in hand.

Yes, very much so. All chairs come with plush, padded cushioning, enabling you to sit for hours on end in comfort. A seat cushion, as well as a headrest, is preferable – the more support you have the better, so do bear this in mind when choosing the best one for you. If you have the space, you can pile on a few outdoor cushions for a snug feel. On average, how much does an egg chair cost?
