Hanging chairs
Thu, 3 May 2007
Want to feel like a kid again? Get yourself a hanging chair. For your living room, balcony or backyard, whether in rattan or fiberglass, they are fun and look fabulous. I crave one, especially after finding all these photos.

Me too, me too!
I would also love one but I am always afraid of how secure it is to the ceiling... Although I would love to have a living room like the last picture on the right.
I love love love the last birdcage one by Studio Isle! I'd feel like a little birdie. Wonderful post!
Jonathan Adler never fails to impress!
Love these! Does anyone have resources for (affordable) rattan hanging chairs in LA or online? Any help is much appreciated!
HAve to agree with the little birdie comment. These are great.
Lovely post... now I want one!
I LOVE the one where the little dog is sitting in it - but, that would be the fate of any furniture in my house: the cats claim it. I'd have a pair of lovely hanging chairs with cats in!
I have the same problem minxlj...my cats love all cushiony chairs and if I had a hanging chair with a nice flokati in it, one of the 4 cats would ALWAYS be in it!
Ha! My cats are too fat to jump up into one of these. I'm totally getting one... once I can locate a ceiling stud to hang it from.
Doppelganger, if you get one, be sure to send us a photo!!! (I'm jealous).
i'm not able to get my fill of reading my compadres blogs these day (too much 'real' work - errrrrr!). but this post brightened my day. if only i could figure how to suspend one of these fun chairs in front of my computer at work! :)
Don't you just hate when work gets in the way of blogging? Might be hard to type while swinging around on one of these in front of your computer. ;)
Just so y'all know (and I know this post is over a year old, but in case you come back or others find it)... you can get these kinds of chairs with stands. No worries about the ceiling, and you can park it in front of your computer. :D
I got mine as a gift when I was 15 and it's still in great shape over 20 years later (ugh). Found this thread 'cuz I wanna use it in my photography, and want to be sure I can replace my beloved hanging chair. ;)
Is there anyone who know, where to get chairs like this.....it´s difficult to find any information about hanging chairs on the internet.....help(-;
how much do they cost? i really like them but i need to know how much they are.
I just bought a birdcage chair just like the last one here by StudioIsle at a thrift store for $30!

Thanks for the link Anon. They seem to be pretty hard to come by. I personally have never seen one in person before. And believe me, I've been looking. :)
Does any one have the source for the Jonathan Adler hanging chairs with the dog in it?
I've seen a couple of lovely hanging chairs @ www.twocolumbiaroad.co.uk and at www.junkdeluxe.co.uk
Not sure if I could accomodate one, but I wish I could!!
To those of you that have never seen the hanging chairs...they came out in the 1970's and were fairly a big hit. Very comfortable. I have been looking for one for many years, but haven't been able to locate a used one.I have mild spastic Cerebral Palsy, & the rattan egg chair is the only thing I can totally relax in. Gotta find one soon, my life has been one heck of a stressed mess! Chris B.
I found a chair for under 300.00. Its rattan and beautiful. I can't wait to hang around in it. Think Im going to get a palm tree, a tropical sounds cd and a bucket of sand for my toes and just hang out. By the way I found the hanging rattan chair on line at wickerwearhouse.com. You gotta search for it on the site. Takes patience. I will let you know in a couple of weeks if its as great as I think it will be.
