Spin your dreams on the classic hanging chair
The lilting sway of the classic hanging chair has a charm of its own. It is the perfect lullaby that will make you want to forget all your worries and feel a sense of pervading calm. It is a paradise tucked away in its corner waiting for you to come home.
It is another timeless creation of Rupert Oliver.
It is another dream converted into fantasy during the creative revolution of the 1960s.
Such is the genius of the man that this chair still manages to charm anyone who sees it.
The design
It consists of a leaf chair hung from a stand. This enhances the leaf-chair’s beauty and comfort to make it more appealing and alluring. It sways with an elegance rarely visible in a swinging chair. Yet it is safe too.
The stand is made up of materials that can withstand your weight. It is durable, weather-resistant and unaffected by impacts. That is not all.
Even the suspension of the chair is beautifully carved. It can either be hung using a simple chain or replacement plaids.
Rupert Oliver was a futuristic man. He made the designs in a way that would appeal to people for many generations to come. The idea of different options to suspend the chair from its stand was unique. This lets you add your little touch to the hanging chair. The available options help you to personalise the chair and call it your own. This adds to its beauty and comfort.
If you do not want any sound to disturb your moment of peace on the swinging chair, opt for the 24-plait braid made of nautical polyester. Else, if you are someone who loves the clinking sound of the chair swinging on the stand opt for the steel chain. Either way, you are safe.
The materials
The make of the chair is unique while the stand is sturdy and strong. The canvas is also made of marine grade acrylic and hence you can safely fall asleep in it or sit and muse about the days gone by and about the future yet to come.
Infusing practicality with aesthetic beauty is Rupert Oliver’s speciality. This is evident in the way the suspended chair has been designed. While the materials chosen are strong and durable, the design looks fragile. Yet its inherent strength is visible in the frame of the chair. You can even feel it when you sit in it. The strength envelopes you and makes you feel warm and loved.
That is the beauty of this chair!
That is the dream that Rupert Oliver dared to see!
The frame
Perhaps the frame of the classic hanging chair is its best asset. It stands tall and strong, ready to take on your weight, protect you and make all your worries seep away. The use of steel further enhances its beauty. This steel is either powder-coated in monochrome shades of black or white or given a brushed finish so that it can look authentically contemporary with a modern twist.
The design and make of the frame are such that it is difficult to pinpoint it on a definite style. The monochrome minimalistic looks fuse with the contemporary design to give it a sleek shiny look.
The frame is also designed to maximise the space available in your home. It is shaped in a way that does not need much space to place. Yet it enhances the beauty of the space and gives it a dramatic look. You can either suspend the frame from the ceiling of a wooden beam or hang it from a stand.
The ones that can be hung from the ceiling make for an excellent addition to your patio. It is just perfect to spend a lazy afternoon in. With a cup of coffee in hand, you can watch the seasons flit by from the safety of the patio. A more idyllic setting is perhaps difficult to conceive.
When hung from the stand the hanging chair makes a perfect place to sit with a coffee in hand while reading your favourite book. It cocoons you with itself making you feel protected and loved as if you are in a world of your own.
This British nature-inspired classic is truly a prized possession. Each chair is like a dream woven to perfection. It is truly a masterpiece.
