Collection: Egg Chairs

Outdoor egg chairs create a sheltered, cocoon-like seat without requiring the floor space of a full lounge setting.

The base style changes how each chair feels in use. Noosa uses a 360-degree swivel base, making it easy to turn towards a view or conversation area without moving the whole chair. Avoca pairs a single egg chair with a separate ottoman for supported reclining. Chelsea provides a simpler fixed-frame option for customers who want the enclosed egg-chair profile without rotation or suspension.

Representative Alfresco product pages describe powder-coated metal frames, PE or rattan-look wicker and fitted cushions. These materials suit outdoor living, but they are not maintenance-free. Keep cushions clean and dry, store them undercover during prolonged rain and check the individual page for exact cushion fabric and care instructions. Position the frame on a stable, level surface and avoid placing it where doors or walkways will conflict with swivel movement.

Measure width, depth and height rather than relying on the word single. A swivel chair needs additional clearance around the base, while an ottoman extends the occupied footprint in front. Choose the frame colour around surrounding furniture, then confirm access through gates and doorways before delivery.

Measure the full frame or base rather than only the basket. Fixed, swivel and swinging egg chairs use space differently, and a hanging basket needs clearance behind and beside the seat as it moves. Deep cushions should be kept dry during prolonged wet weather, while woven surfaces and frames benefit from gentle cleaning and periodic hardware checks.
