Then we invite you to the virtual world of hanging furniture, where, together with the Dream House website, we will not only see the types of such chairs, but also decide how to use them in the interior.

What is a hanging chair

For the first time, a hanging chair for the home was created by a designer from Denmark in the middle of the last century. Despite its venerable age, it, as before, belongs to the category designer furniture. However, in recent years it has been increasingly used for arranging country houses and city apartments. Ergonomic design, modern materials and an unusual shape make you opt for a hanging chair.

What does it represent? This is a comfortable bed, mainly wicker or rattan, or made of modern materials like acrylic or plastic, which is suspended from the ceiling by a hook. Thus, it turns out that in it you can swing in different directions, as in childhood on a swing. By the way, the second name of this unusual “flying” furniture is a hanging swing chair, which fully justifies its name.

Many people are interested in the question, how much weight of a seated person can a chair suspended from the ceiling withstand? This question should be asked directly to the seller, because depending on the different models and materials, the indicator may vary - some chairs can withstand a person weighing up to 100 kg, while others can hold heavyweights up to 150 kg in their "embraces".

Types of modern hanging chairs

Hanging chairs may differ in shape and material of manufacture, but, as a rule, they all allow you to sit and sway back and forth, left and right, and even diagonally. An exception is only one type of chair, which is attached not only to the top of the hook, but also attached to the bottom. If we draw analogies, then this design is similar to the fastening of a punching bag, which is fixed to the floor and to the ceiling. As you understand, on such a chair it will not be possible to sway from side to side, it will only allow it to rotate around its axis.

The frame of such a chair can also be of several options. The wicker rattan and wicker hanging chair has a rigid body, as do modern egg chairs made of clear plastic or acrylic. For the convenience of location, soft mattresses and are placed inside.

But there is also a softer option - this is a hanging hammock chair, which looks like a real fabric hammock, only smaller.

Which one you prefer is up to you, but perhaps the most comfortable models are those that allow you to retire and abstract from external fuss - these are cocoon chairs, closed on three sides with wicker walls and comfortably enveloping the person sitting inside.

There are even wicker models that are made in the form of a drop with a small window designed only to climb inside. And then you find yourself in your own separate world, full of comfort and enjoyment of loneliness.

Hanging chairs on a frame or stand

As you already know, hanging chairs are hung from the ceiling or wooden beams, but there are also those that are fixed on a metal rack standing on the floor. These models are the most functional because:

firstly, they are mobile - such chairs can be moved and installed anywhere at home and even on the street;
secondly, the frame itself can be detached from the rack and suspended from the ceiling.

Hanging chairs in the interior of an apartment or house

The advantage of a hanging chair is that you can fit it into any style of interior. For example, for pick up a solid rattan model, for a white cobweb chair, a hanging hammock will fit perfectly into a rustic style, and modern styles- a cocoon or an egg made of plastic. Also a great option for a chair made of metal rods.

You can place a hanging chair-ball (or another name for it is a bubble - from the English bubble, which translates as “bubble”), an egg or a cocoon, you can somewhere in the corner of the room, continuing the seating area next to the sofa and other chairs. In this case, small-sized models that are made in the same color scheme and from the same material as the rest of the furniture.

In the second case, the hanging chair can be turned into the main accent of the room. For these purposes, an extraordinary model is suitable (for example, with engraving and LED backlight) placed right in the middle of the room. In order not to be considered a sole proprietor, install another chair opposite your bed for your soulmate.

But let's get back to the backlit chair mentioned earlier. This original masterpiece of design thought will allow you to maximum comfort relax after a hard day's work. The pattern on the surface of the ball is applied based on your preferences for an individual order, whether it will be funny openwork curls or a futuristic web, it's up to you. But besides this, even the color of the backlight can be chosen to your taste - depending on your mood, you can change the color of the luminous ball, for example, it will relax and relieve tension of a soft green or light green color, at the same time, if you are in high spirits, then red color will suit more.

Hanging chairs for the street can be attributed to a separate type. If indoor furniture can be made from any material, outdoor seating will require a chair made from materials that are resistant to natural disasters. It must withstand high humidity and the scorching sun.

It is better to choose a hanging chair for a summer residence or for open ones from artificial rattan - unlike its natural counterpart, it can better withstand the influence of atmospheric phenomena and, therefore, is more durable. But even such furniture must be removed from the street in winter time. The best place storage during an unused period is an unheated room (but not a damp barn).

Whatever hanging chair you look at, the main thing is to choose it for the interior or exterior, so that in shape and dimensions it fits well into the environment. But the most important thing is that a chair suspended from a ceiling or a frame should be comfortable, so before buying, test it not only for strength, but also for comfort. Feel free to place yourself in a cozy cocoon right in the store!
