YOLO INC |

The egg chair is a great choice for style, comfort, and relaxation. It has a timeless appeal that few other pieces of furniture can match. Known for its unique cocoon-like shape and versatile design, the chair has become a favourite in both indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Among these, the Globo wooden egg chair stands out as one of the most iconic choices available today. With a single and double version, there's something for everyone. 

At Simply Hammocks, we focus on high-quality hammocks and hanging chairs. Our products add style and comfort to your home or garden.

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.

The Unique Appeal of the Globo Wooden Egg Chair

The Globo wooden egg chair is a step above standard garden pod chairs. Crafted with precision and designed to impress, it blends natural wooden craftsmanship with award-winning design.

Key Features of the Globo:

  • Sustainable Wooden Build – Made from strong, laminated spruce wood for durability.
  • Patented Award-Winning Design – Our wooden furniture has won many awards for being sustainable and safe.
  • Indoor & Outdoor Use – This chair works well as a garden egg chair, an indoor hanging chair, or a relaxing pod on your patio.
  • Luxury Comfort – Thick, weather-resistant Agora cushions for all-day lounging.

At Simply Hammocks, we believe the Globo isn’t just a seat, it’s a lifestyle investment that transforms your space.

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.

How to Hang a Globo Wooden Egg Chair

One of the best features of the Globo is its versatility. You can hang it in several ways:

  1. From a Tree or Beam – Perfect for creating a natural swinging experience outdoors.
  2. From a Globo Stand – A stylish and portable option if you don’t have trees or beams. We recommend getting a Globo Set.
  3. Indoors with Ceiling Fixings – buy special fixings for indoor hanging pods for safe and comfortable relaxation. 

Pro Tip from Simply Hammocks: If you’re unsure about your setup, our hammock stands and hanging chair fixings are designed for safety, stability, and ease of use.

Caring for Your Globo 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.

Why is Globo Garden Furniture so Expensive?

The premium cost of Globo garden furniture, including the Globo wooden egg chairs, comes from the care, quality, and craftsmanship that go into every piece. Each chair is handcrafted in Poland using FSC-certified spruce wood sourced from responsibly managed forests.

The cushions are made from recycled plastic bottles, making them environmentally friendly and sustainable. The design is patented, so it’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Every chair is assembled and inspected before delivery, ensuring it’s safe, sturdy, and ready to enjoy straight away.

Ultimately, the price reflects the high-quality materials, sustainable practices, meticulous craftsmanship, and unique design that make Globo wooden egg chairs a standout addition to any garden.
