What is a Globo Egg Chair?
A Globo Wooden Egg Chair is a premium hanging chair designed by Amazonas, crafted from durable laminated spruce wood and suspended to create a comfortable, cocoon-like seating experience. Unlike traditional wicker or metal egg chairs, the Globo range features a distinctive curved wooden frame with a thick, weather-resistant cushion, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor relaxation.
The Globo range includes two models:
- Globo Single Egg Chair – A spacious hanging chair designed for one person, offering plenty of room to sit back, read, or unwind in comfort.
- Globo Royal Egg Chair – A larger version designed for two people, making it perfect for couples, families, or anyone who enjoys extra space to stretch out.
Both models are handcrafted using FSC®-certified spruce wood sourced from responsibly managed forests and are fitted with high-quality cushions available in weather-resistant fabrics. Their elegant design makes them a popular choice for gardens, patios, conservatories and indoor living spaces, combining exceptional comfort with timeless style.
Why Egg Chairs Are So Popular
The egg chair has been praised since the mid-20th century. It combines modern style with great comfort. Its rounded shape makes it great for creating a private space. You can put it in your garden, living room, or reading nook.
- Comfort: The enveloping design supports the body while creating a sense of calm and relaxation.
- Style: hanging pod chairs add a modern yet timeless aesthetic to any space.
- Versatility: Perfect for both indoor egg chairs and outdoor hanging pods.
Outdoor Elegance with Globo Egg Chairs
Adding a Globo to your garden or patio instantly upgrades the outdoor space. It creates a focal point where friends and family are naturally drawn to relax. Imagine sipping your morning coffee in your garden pod, or gently swaying in the evening breeze.
Unlike standard outdoor egg chairs, the Globo’s natural wood frame blends seamlessly into garden environments, making it feel like an organic extension of nature.
Indoor Egg Chairs: Bringing Comfort Inside
While many associate these hanging chairs with gardens, the Globo is just as perfect indoors. An indoor egg chair or indoor hanging chair creates a cosy corner in your living room, bedroom, or conservatory.
- Reading Nook: Transform a quiet corner with a Globo as your personal retreat.
- Stylish Decor: Adds a statement piece to modern or bohemian interiors.
- Wellness Benefits: The gentle rocking motion of a hanging chair helps reduce stress, calm the mind, and promote mindfulness.
Many Simply Hammocks customers love their Globo as an indoor hanging pod for both adults and children, a calming place to relax after a busy day.

All Amazonas suspension systems have been stress tested and certified to maximum weight capacities, providing peace of mind when installed correctly.
Using a Globo Stand
If you don't have a suitable overhead fixing, a dedicated Globo Hanging Egg Chair Stand is the ideal solution. Designed specifically for the Globo Single Pod Chair and Globo Royal, these beautifully crafted wooden stands allow you to position your chair almost anywhere in your garden, conservatory or home, without the need for permanent fixings.
Our Advice
While you can use third-party suspension systems, we always recommend choosing fixings that have been independently tested and are suitable for both the weight of the chair and the user. Genuine Amazonas suspension systems have been specifically designed and tested for the Globo range, so we cannot guarantee the safety or performance of alternative fixings.
Caring for Your Globo Egg Chair
To keep your Globo wooden egg chair looking and feeling its best:
- The cushion covers are made from water-resistant agora fabric, which is woven to last. If you have the space, we do recommend storing these indoors during wet weather.
- Apply a protective wood sealant annually to preserve the frame. We recommend Osmo, specifically the wood reviver power-gel to restore greying wood and the UV protective Oil to maintain the spruce wood.
- Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt or debris.
- Invest in a hanging egg chair cover; we have both the single and double versions of this to protect both the single Globo hanging chair and the Royal Globo.
With proper care, your Globo will last for years, becoming a cherished part of your indoor and outdoor lifestyle.
