Hanging egg chair

In our times, the creation of interior design is a matter of taste and a wallet. The choice of various pieces of furniture, decor, decoration is almost unlimited, besides, designers are constantly discovering new and new solutions.

So, in 1957, the Nanna Ditzel proposed an innovative design of an egg-shaped hanging chair, called the “Egg”. Suspended egg chair immediately gained popularity among Bohemians. In 1968, Finnish designer Eero Aarniov developed this concept by creating a futuristic transparent hanging ball-shaped pendant. His design reflected the latest mood in the architectural fashion, allowing to bring the style of minimalism to a new level.

The rattan woven rocking chair is still a success, it is often chosen as the "highlight" for the design of living rooms, bedrooms, balconies. The chair-ball also has not lost its relevance and is often chosen as an option for the kitchen, living room, office.

Modern suspended "Egg" are distinguished by the material and method of attachment.

Rocking chairs on the method of fixation are divided into three types:

• suspended, mounted to the ceiling;
• fixed, simultaneously attached to the ceiling and to the floor;
• suspended swing chairs attached to a special frame.

The choice of mounting method for each specific interior is determined by the possibilities to make such significant changes as the modernization of the ceiling space (in this case the installation of the hook), as well as the stylistic features of the design.

The choice of material from which the suspended egg chair is made is not particularly diverse.. Currently, these chairs are made mainly from plastic or rattan; less common models of wood, steel or aluminum, polyamide fibers. Also, an egg chair is often complemented by functional metal elements that carry not only practical benefits, but also decorative ones.

Separate attention deserve portable chair swings, which are attached to a special frame and can move around the room, depending on the needs of the owners.

A suspended egg chair can also vary in shape. There are spherical chairs and chairs directly in the shape of an egg.Many say that the egg chair is more convenient than its round counterpart, but this statement is rather subjective. Again, the choice of form depends largely on which interior and for which room the rocking chair is selected.

Often there are hanging chairs, hammocks from textiles. They are mainly used in children's design, since the fabric is more suitable for the design of such a delicate space.

Models of hanging chairs are always complemented by soft textile liners. Changing them, you can create a new fresh look in the interior almost every day.

Designers offer the following placement options:

• Living room. Buying a hanging chair for the living room is a great idea. Typically, the design of living rooms allows you to purchase a plastic rocking chair and a cozy wicker. Everything is based on the main concept of the interior. Wicker rocking chair will create comfort and help to revive the room. The use of fluffy textiles stylized as fur will add even more warmth to the interior.

• Acrylic hanging "ball" perfectly fit into a minimalist high-tech. Rocking can make a bright accent, if you choose a model of a contrasting color. Against the background of a monochromatic interior, such a detail will look very interesting.

• Children's Swing chair for the nursery - the dream of many children. You can please them by spending relatively little money to buy a textile hanging chair. The bright model will delight your kids without causing a lot of problems. As a rule, such chairs can be removed and washed in a washing machine.

• Kitchen. When choosing a hanging rocking chair for the kitchen, make sure that the microclimate allows you to install such a model. If the hood doesn’t work well enough and the air in your dining room is constantly dry and hot, the rattan rocking chair can simply crumble.

• Another option is a plastic chair. Plastic is not the same "capricious" material and can withstand various negative effects. These rocking chairs are presented in a wide range, so that finding the right option will turn out without difficulty.

• Cottage, arbor, terrace. To replace the usual wicker country furniture can come suspended. This is a very interesting way to diversify the exterior of a country house.

• Bedroom. As a rule, the suspended egg chair is used in the bedroom, combined with a balcony or in a very spacious room, where not only the sleep area, but also the seating area is located. Having placed a rocking chair at a window or in a corner, it will turn out to create the fine place for a relaxation.

• Cabinet In the office, a suspended rocking chair is also installed in the corner and serves as a place to read. It is important that there is enough free space around, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to be in a chair.

Below are some useful tips on choosing an outboard rocker:

• Pay attention to how many kilograms the selected model can withstand. Manufacturers of standard rockers converge on the statement that the estimated weight is approximately 120 kilograms, but it is better to further clarify this issue.This item is more relevant if one of the future owners of this piece of furniture is a tall man or if the chair is purchased with the expectation that not only one person will sit in it at the same time.

• Think about the microclimate of the room in which you plan to install a rocking chair. Not every material is able to cope with temperature changes, high humidity or too dry air. Be sure to consult with the seller in the furniture store before buying, describing to him all the possible nuances of the room. This will help you make the most successful purchase and continue to enjoy the new thing, and not shed tears, why did the rocking chair so quickly broke / lost its original look.

• Before buying, by all means read the reviews about the manufacturer. It sometimes happens that the furniture looks quality, but in reality everything turns out to be completely different. Spend some time and make inquiries about what to expect. The experience of other people here will be very useful.

• Be sure to build on the overall design of the room when choosing a rocking chair. Suspended chair can be chosen for any interior,but it looks most impressive in minimalist rooms. For registration, both a woven version and a plastic one will be suitable, depending on the overall concept. For example, if the interior design relied on eco-materials, the choice of wicker egg chairs would be an excellent solution. With an emphasis on smooth surfaces and clean lines, a rocking chair in the shape of a perfectly smooth ball will emphasize the uniqueness of the design like nothing else.
