What is an outdoor egg chair and which type suits your space?
Browse All Egg Chairs →
An outdoor egg chair is a curved, cocoon-shaped chair built from a steel frame wrapped in weather-resistant wicker. Three main types exist: hanging egg chairs that suspend from a stand or overhead beam, pod chairs that sit on a fixed freestanding base with no beam required, and rattan or wicker outdoor chairs in a more traditional armchair shape. Most use a steel frame around 1.2mm with UV-resistant PE wicker in white, grey or brown.
Choose a hanging design only if you have a ceiling beam, pergola or the included stand to suspend it from. Choose a pod chair if you want the same curved comfort on any flat outdoor surface with no installation. Check weight rating and base dimensions on each product page before ordering.

Each style suits a different setup. Start with how your space is built before choosing a finish.
Hanging Egg Chairs
Best for: Pergolas, Beams and Patios with a Fixed Point
The classic outdoor statement piece. Suspends from a stand, ceiling beam or pergola. Built with a 1.2mm steel frame and UV-resistant PE wicker. Available in white and grey for coastal, Hamptons and contemporary outdoor styles. Confirm beam or stand weight rating before ordering.
Pod Chairs with Stand
Best for: Any Flat Outdoor Surface, No Beam Required
Same curved, cocoon-style comfort as a hanging chair, fixed to a freestanding base. No ceiling beam or installation needed. Available in white and grey. Pairs naturally with an outdoor lounge or sofa setting for a complete alfresco setup.
Rattan and Wicker Chairs
Best for: Balconies and Smaller Outdoor Spaces
A more traditional armchair shape in natural rattan tones, including brown. Brings warmth and texture without the larger footprint of a hanging or pod design. Sits well beside an outdoor coffee table or side table for a finished look.
Buying Guide
Buying Guide: Type, Installation, Material and Size
The most common mistake is buying a hanging chair without checking the beam can take the weight. Confirm installation before choosing a style.
Before You Order
- If suspending from a beam or pergola, confirm the structure can take the listed weight rating.
- If using the included stand, check the stand footprint fits your available floor space.
- Check the seat width and overall height against the space you have in mind.
- Check product pages for exact weight capacity and base dimensions before ordering.
- Hanging vs pod: Hanging needs a beam, pergola or the included stand. Pod chairs sit on a fixed base and work on any flat surface with zero installation.
- Material: PE wicker resists UV fading and does not absorb water. Steel frames are powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion. Rattan brings a more natural, traditional finish.
- Colour: White suits coastal, Hamptons and minimalist gardens. Grey suits modern and contemporary setups. Brown rattan suits natural and garden-style spaces.
- Pairing: A pod chair pairs with an outdoor lounge or sofa setting for a matched alfresco area. A rattan chair sits well beside a coffee table or side table.
- Assembly: Most chairs and stands require basic assembly. Instructions and hardware included.
