World’s most joyful chair? Taking inspiration from the 1959 rattan egg chair by Danish designer Nanna Ditzel, here is a roundup of our favorite hanging chairs for indoor or outdoor use.
Take note that natural rattan is best when it’s kept in a dry location–perfect for hanging on a covered porch or indoors from a ceiling beam (bring that summer feeling inside).
