Description
Sika Design Hanging Egg Chair, Black Alu-Rattan
Nanna Ditzel designed this in 1959, and it has never stopped being the chair people photograph. The Sika Design Hanging Egg Chair, Black Alu-Rattan is that icon, re-engineered so it can finally live outdoors permanently.
Worried about bringing it in every time it rains? You do not need to. Hand-woven ArtFibre over an aluminum frame is UV and temperature resistant polyethylene, maintenance-free and weather-resistant by construction.
Worried an outdoor version compromises the original? The Alu-Rattan construction keeps the hand-woven character of the 1959 piece. It is the same silhouette, built from a material that survives a winter.
Measuring 49.2" H x 33.5" W x 30" D. A genuine design classic that asks nothing of you but somewhere to hang it.
Experience the legendary comfort of Nanna Ditzel's Hanging Egg Chair, now engineered for the outdoors. The innovative Alu-Rattan construction ensures this piece is not only stunning but also remarkably resilient against the elements, requiring no maintenance to retain its beauty. Forget about bringing it in with every rain shower; this chair is built to withstand outdoor conditions, thanks to its UV and temperature-resistant ArtFibre weave. The generous proportions invite you to curl up with a book, creating a personal sanctuary in your garden, on your patio, or by the pool. For an added layer of luxury, consider pairing it with one of Sika Design's performance fabric cushions. This chair isn't just furniture; it's an heirloom-quality design statement for your outdoor living space.
