The hanging egg chair has enjoyed something of a renaissance over the last few years – with the 1960’s staple finding its way back into our gardens as a defining outdoor furniture trend.

Characterised by their egg shape, rattan finish and swinging feature, the Danish design duo Nanna and Jorgen Ditzel created the first hanging egg chair in 1959. Offering an idyllic spot to curl up and relax, the chairs are typically complete with a sturdy metal cantilever stand that lets you drift comfortably in the breeze.

While the original cocooned chair remains mostly unchanged since its first iteration, they’re now more affordable than ever thanks to increasing popularity and demand. From Aldi’s coveted £199.99 hanging egg chair to Homebase’s £200 design or JYSK’s £225 offering, there’s plenty of top brands vying for our attention – including The Range and its Selene hanging egg chair.

Rivaling luxurious designer options, the budget retailer’s chair is reduced by more than 40 per cent right now and is perfect for injecting a laid-back bohemian feel to your outdoor space. Now costing £199.99, it is also among the cheapest on the market.

Here’s everything you need to know about The Range’s hanging egg chair – plus your lowdown on the store’s £129.99 helicopter hanging chair.

The cocooning chair is suspended from a powder-coated sturdy black metal frame to help protect it from the elements. And, in keeping with the chair’s Sixties-origins, the rattan-effect wicker finish will add some retro flair to your interiors.

Complete with comfortable cushions for all-day lounging, the cocooning chair hangs from a tall, powder-coated sturdy frame that’s connected by a chain for a soothing swinging motion. Replacing the traditional rattan finish with a black frame, it’s a more industrial alternative to classic egg chair designs.
