Hanging egg chairs are a garden staple. You can turn your outdoor space into a cosy retreat for all year round use. Comfortable, stylish and Instagramable, these garden furniture egg chairs make a fabulous addition to the lawn, patio, decking, or in a conservatory. A hanging egg chair – also called a garden egg chair, egg chair swing or simply a hanging chair or swing chair – is loved for its gentle sway. The pod-like, egg-shaped seats have a cocooning effect and is typically suspended from, and supported by, an overarching frame which attaches to the seat via a metal chain to gently swing back and forth.
