The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the birds are chirping, and it is staying light for longer, which means spring is here and summer is on the way.
If you’re anything like us you may have found you are being beckoned by the sunshine to enjoy the outdoors lately, and the best way to do so is in a comfortable hanging egg chair.
Egg chairs have been hugely popular in recent years, and the hype around the garden furniture is not going away any time soon. In fact, we’d say the popular seat is growing in popularity even more so.If you are looking to spruce up your garden, patio, or balcony, there is only one thing for it – Dunelm’s Santorini Egg Chair, which is giving us major The White Lotus vibes.
Santorini Egg Chair
The one seater has been crafted from a sturdy steel frame, with woven rattan detail, which is weather resistant. The chair hangs off the main chassis, and only one person can cocoon inside at a time. It measures 118cm in width, 121cm in depth and 188cm in height. Available in four colours, including jade green, ginger orange, pastel blue and multicolour. Requires full assembling.
The Santorini Egg Chair is Dunelm’s cult egg chair, which is finally back due to popular demand.
The hanging design is curved like a cocoon, which makes for the perfect outdoor snug to read a book in on a balmy summer’s day.
The frame has been crafted from powder-coated steel, while the woven rattan texture is durable to hold one person – plus it looks super stylish.
Dunelm is one step ahead of the curve, and is well aware the British weather is temperamental, which is why the materials used are weather resistant. Though we would advise you to cover the egg chair in the winter season just to protect the creation from wearing and fading.
Dunelm’s Santorini Egg Chair is available in four colours to suit any outdoor colour scheme, including pale blue, jade green, ginger orange and a vibrant multi-colour version.
It is also important to note this egg chair arrives as a flat pack and requires assembling.
The Santorini Egg Chair is a new arrival, so customers have yet to provide feedback on the item, though one shopper was quick off the mark to nab this design and was very impressed.
One Dunelm shopper, who goes under the name Wobbly Mammoth, shared: ‘Lovely chair, it’s comfy with a nice bounce to it – the cushion is just right and really helpful to have arms to it. There were some chips in the paint on the stand, which is very heavy (as you’d hope). It’s quite tricky to put the actual egg part together, it looks like there is more wiggle room between bolts joining the two halves than there is. Just waiting for warmer weather to put it outside. Hardest part was choosing a colour.’
If previous years are anything to go by Dunelm’s Egg Chair will fly off the shelves, so you will want to shop quickly.
