Such a chair is made from a variety of materials: rattan, willow vine, textiles or plastic. It is called suspended because the seat-bed is suspended from the ceiling on cables, ropes or belts specially provided for this purpose.

Who created the hanging chair.

The hanging chair owes its appearance to Nanna Ditzel, a designer from Denmark, who in 1957, based on the well-known hammock, came up with a radically new solution for the interiors of houses, she created an egg-shaped chair and hung it with ropes on the ceiling beam. The idea of ​​a hanging chair excited the world community, and a line literally lined up for such chairs. After a while, in 1968, another designer from Finland proposed a new design for such an armchair - in the form of a plastic ball.

Varieties of hanging chairs.

It would seem that such a chair could have varieties, in fact, they come in three main types:

  • With fastening only to the surface of the ceiling;
  • Mobile - equipped with a portable rack;
  • Strictly fixed - simultaneously attached to the ceiling and floor.

  • With textile seat;
  • With wicker seat.

You should know that on average the depth of such a chair is 50 cm, chairs in the form of balls are usually deeper, about 70-80 cm, so you should choose a place for the chair where it will not interfere. This means that there should be no obstacles in front, behind and on the sides of it, in the form of furniture, fragile vases or flower stands, taking into account the possible degree of rocking chairs.
  2. Such an armchair must necessarily fit into the style of the interior, so wicker chairs will best fit into stylized interiors like African, Hawaiian and Tropical. Floral textiles will perfectly emphasize the interiors of Vintage and Shabby Chic, linen, cotton will suit Provence and Country styles. Acrylic armchairs emphasize the style of Hi-Tech or Art Deco.
  3. Before buying, be sure to examine the surface of the ceiling, because if your house has stretch ceilings, then you simply cannot attach such a chair to them. Ideally, it should be attached to a solid ceiling slab or a large and solid wooden beam.
  4. If you want to purchase a double chair, then in this case we recommend that you still purchase two different chairs and hang them side by side, then the load will be correctly and evenly distributed over the ceiling surface.






How to make your own hanging chair.

We take an even stick, measure the length of half of the desired chair, drill seven holes in the stick at a distance of 7 cm from each other. We take a sheet of thick plywood, put a rail in the center with drilled holes, in the center we fix it on a screw. We insert a pencil into the second hole from the center and, drawing a stick (like a compass) in a circle, draw a circle, and do the same with the rest of the holes. When all the circles are drawn, cut out the rings with a jigsaw. We process each ring with sandpaper. Then we drill four holes in each ring with a drill, thread a tight rope through them and string plywood rings, tie a knot around each hole. We also drill four holes in the central circle-seat, where we thread the ends of the rope and tie knots. It remains to hang the structure on the ceiling and put a soft pillow in the chair.

Choice of model and location

When choosing any version of a unique designer chair or a typical production model, it is important to take into account some features of their use in the interior.

Suspended structures must not be attached to stretch ceilings and other complex modifications, since it is impossible to hang securely without fittings, and some ceiling materials do not provide for additional fastening systems.

The armchair on the stand can be moved, carried and deployed at will, which is very convenient and practical, and also makes it possible to change the environment at will.

It is important to take into account the volumes occupied by the hanging model of the suspension seat. Too close to walls or furnishings, the product will be inconvenient for everyday use.

For a bedroom, installing a floor or ceiling modification closer to the windows is suitable, this will allow rational use of the space of the room and create comfortable conditions for relaxation.

In the nursery, especially close attention should be paid to safety, since it is very easy for restless children to get injured if they are installed incorrectly or if they choose the wrong model.

In the reception room, such models look great in combination with bean bags, as well as in the style of minimalism and naturalism. Such seats will provide additional accommodation options and create comfort in the living room.

Verandas, terraces, large balconies are ideal for wicker hanging chairs. By placing a fountain, a pool, a bio-fireplace or other decor item with imitation of fire or water nearby, it will enhance the feeling of relaxation.

Fastening

Usually, the installation of suspended structures is associated with installation work. Anchor bolts are placed in the ceiling, designed to support a sufficiently large weight and designed for high loads. Anchor manufacturers offer modifications with ready-made hooks for fixing hangers.

In the event that work with construction tool is not a common thing, it is better to entrust the installation to professionals with experience and all the necessary details. As in most cases of working with fasteners, you should not save on quality, comfort and safety of use depend on it.

Then we invite you to the virtual world of hanging furniture, where, together with the Dream House website, we will not only see the types of such chairs, but also decide how to use them in the interior.

What is a hanging chair

For the first time, a hanging chair for the home was created by a designer from Denmark in the middle of the last century. Despite its venerable age, it, as before, belongs to the category of designer furniture. However, in recent years it has been increasingly used for arranging country houses and city apartments. Ergonomic design, modern materials and an unusual shape make you opt for a hanging chair.

What does it represent? This is a comfortable bed, mainly wicker or rattan, or made of modern materials like acrylic or plastic, which is suspended from the ceiling by a hook. Thus, it turns out that in it you can swing in different directions, as in childhood on a swing. By the way, the second name of this unusual “flying” furniture is a hanging swing chair, which fully justifies its name.

Many are interested in the question of how much weight a seated person can withstand a chair suspended from the ceiling? This question should be asked directly to the seller, because depending on the different models and materials, the indicator may vary - some chairs can withstand a person weighing up to 100 kg, while others can hold heavyweights up to 150 kg in their "embraces".

Types of modern hanging chairs

Hanging chairs may differ in shape and material of manufacture, but, as a rule, they all allow you to sit and sway back and forth, left and right, and even diagonally. An exception is only one type of chair, which is attached not only to the top of the hook, but also attached to the bottom. If we draw analogies, then this design is similar to the fastening of a punching bag, which is fixed to the floor and to the ceiling. As you understand, on such a chair it will not be possible to sway from side to side, it will only allow it to rotate around its axis.

The frame of such a chair can also be of several options. The wicker rattan and wicker hanging chair has a rigid body, as do modern egg chairs made of clear plastic or acrylic. For the convenience of location, soft mattresses and are placed inside.

But there is more soft version is a hanging hammock chair that looks like a real fabric hammock, only smaller.

Which one you prefer is up to you, but perhaps the most comfortable models are those that allow you to retire and abstract from external fuss - these are cocoon chairs, closed on three sides with wicker walls and comfortably enveloping the person sitting inside.

There are even wicker models that are made in the form of a drop with a small window designed only to climb inside. And then you find yourself in your own separate world, full of comfort and enjoyment of loneliness.

Hanging chairs on a frame or stand

As you already know, hanging chairs are hung from the ceiling or wooden beams, but there are also those that are fixed on a metal rack standing on the floor. These models are the most functional because:

  • firstly, they are mobile - such chairs can be moved and installed anywhere at home and even on the street;
  • secondly, the frame itself can be detached from the rack and suspended from the ceiling.

Hanging chairs in the interior of an apartment or house

The advantage of a hanging chair is that you can fit it into any style of interior. For example, for pick up a solid rattan model, for a white cobweb chair, in country style a hanging hammock fits perfectly, and in modern styles- a cocoon or an egg made of plastic. Also a great option for a chair made of metal rods.
