Although not a direct decendent of Jacobsen egg chair, The hanging wicker chair designed by Nana Ditzel and her husband Joergen in 1957 is a good example of the variety that the egg shape/concept can produce,and probably has more in common with the bubble chair.  You can see more of Nana Ditzel’s work here.

Although not available today, their are a variety of new hanging wicker chairs around that can be placed in your backyard or hung from a patio.  Here are a few I found:

Amazon:  $999

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Urban Balance Curve hanging wicker chair: $469 or $689 at OutdoorGardenFurniture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Urban Balance Cove hanging wicker chair: $1299

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rounding out the list is one from good ol’ Ikea for $59.99.  If you have any suggestions for more hanging wicker chairs, leave a comment below.
