Collection: Wicker Egg Chairs

Wicker egg chairs use a curved woven shell to create a sheltered, cocoon-like seat, but the catalogue contains several different mechanisms. Noosa chairs swivel on a fixed base, Avoca chairs remain static and include an ottoman, while Bondi, Dubai and Chelsea models suspend the basket from a freestanding frame.

Noosa swivel egg chairs are available in white and gunmetal and rotate through 360 degrees. The fixed base avoids the forward-and-back movement of a hanging basket but still needs rotational clearance. Avoca single chairs include a matching ottoman, giving the user leg support without a suspended mechanism. Chelsea provides another single cocoon-chair option.

Swinging designs need more planning. Bondi and Chelsea include single-seat baskets, while Dubai Double and Chelsea Double are wider two-person formats. Alfresco describes the Dubai Double with a powder-coated steel frame and durable rattan-look weave. Double capacity should never be assumed from appearance alone: confirm the exact rated load, base dimensions and assembly requirements on the product page.

Outdoor weave is normally supported by a metal frame, and cushions have separate fabric and storage requirements. Keep cushions dry during extended rain, clean the weave gently and place the base on a stable level surface. Measure the full frame and the basket's movement envelope, not just the seat.
