OK, I’ve seen this odd chair from Pottery Barn before. I may have even laughed and wondered who would buy something so bizarre. Except now? I really want one.
It offers privacy, shade, durability, and comfort. And it’s definitely interesting to look at. I imagine it tucked away in a quiet corner of the garden, surrounded by peonies. I would grab a magazine and a glass of lemonade and go out there to relax. And how sweet would it be for curling up and reading children’s books with a little one? *ahem* Not that we have a little one… yet.

I find it oddly appealing myself, it’s so self contained. But I can’t help but wonder if it might do that weird “pushing your head forward” thing that a lot of high backed chairs do to me because I’m short. Regardless, I don’t have $1200 to spend on a garden chair, so it’s kind of a moot point…:)
as someone who is pale as a ghost and burns in a snap but loves to be outside, i find the idea of curling up and reading in that pretty appealing myself! alas, i don’t have my own yard yet — but i do like it!
ps: love your blog!
I’m too practical for this space capsule. All I can think of is the effects of weather and passing birds.
Is this an announcement?
No, not an announcement! Just a thought. :)
Yeah, exactly what do you mean by “…yet.” :-)
love, love, love it! i’m a huge fan of cozy little places to curl up in and this one would suit my needs just fine!
i am obsessed with nooks & crannies and this fits the bill… although i am a whopping 6’2″ and i doubt i could fit myself into this kind of nook – i just popped over to your site from my rss feed and spotted the ‘well said’ box and i love it… damn rss for not allowing me to spot this previously…
i adore your blog & your style, nicole…

I agree that it is oddly appealing. Although, I really just want to sit in it and put my arms out the holes on the side.
It’s really cute… but yeah, outdoor furniture always makes me think, “Too many birds live in my backyard for this to ever work. Also, it will kill the grass.”
I really love that chair! Is the perfect little cozy place where you can curl up :) *LOVE IT*
i kind of like the idea of having it inside the house.
I like the look of them, but fear they would be dreadfully uncomfortable!
Anyone ever sat in one?
I have sat in it..it is a bit too shallow to be very cozy and comfortable unless you are a kid or petite. Its too bad, its is adorable.
Love the chair – a little pricey but lovely. And I know what you mean about little ones – we don’t have any yet either…yet. :) Our friends are all having them and keep nudging us and some days I want to start a family and other days I couldn’t imagine it.
Absolutely Love It!
Elizabeth, is it really that bad? I like to sit cross-legged, with my legs tucked up under me. It seems like I’d be pretty comfortable in there…
I do like it, but it could be like the VW Bug- cute but weird once you get inside it.
I love it! If I had a house I’d buy it, it’s too gorgeous
I’ve seen chairs similaar to that one in Greece, in the café-lounges at the beach, where they’d have a series of diferent sitting options, and for people that where there without company, it was the best one, sitting in that cozy nook looking at the Mediterranean…
It is really cute! I’d love to have one. My yard isn’t really too big but I could def fit one of these in it. Maybe I will get my Mom to put one in her backyard oasis! She has a pool & everything, so I could totally lounge in this poolside. Whatever that drink is in the pic looks good too!
I think it looks great, but I need more of a lounging piece in the garden. How would you nap in that?
I am 5’5 and slim and with pillows it was too shallow to get my feet up into it..without pillows its not comfortable.
I remember chairs like those being around in the 60’s- 70’s, when I was I kid. I always thought they were so cool.
Love it!!! A couple on my deck with some flower baskets around them would look awesome. If only we had a Pottery Barn here!
agreed. please proceed.
I have to admit it really looks so good but I wouldn’t be in it especially when the sun’s up and besides I’m quite claustrophobic. So it’s really a case of it’s not that chair, it’s me…
personally… I LOVE IT & WANT ONE AS WELL!!
Oh, this is cute! It reminds me of the chair that Will Smith had to sit in in that movie, “Men In Black”, only cuter! I can totally snuggle in that!
I love it! A good egg!
It is totally spaceship like with those windows!
I want it!! Not that I could afford it, but why doesn’t Australia have a Pottery Barn? I just want to sit it in it and see what it’s like! I could imagine spending a lazy afternoon sipping lovely fruit cocktails reading a fabulously trashy novel, all in the comforyt of my little egg seat.
I’ve seen hanging version similar to this. I’d love one of them – however as someone else said, practically – I can see it covered with bird poop. Ick!
I want it , too ! I love it !
Yes, I looked at that too and these sort of pod like chambers seem to be popping up all over. I like that it has a cocoon sort of shape, nice for sitting and for laying an egg of an idea in a journal or reading a great book.
Oh my! This egg looks so comfortable! May I seat in there?:D
OK, I’ve decided that this chair belongs in my garden. I’m just waiting now to see if the price will go down at all.
[…] Brandon thinks about a new addition to her house. I asked Brandon what he thought about a certain egg chair showing up any day now at the house. No word yet, but we’ll probably think about ordering it […]
so cozy!
I saw it at PB too, and loved it immediately. Just one problem – how the f*** would I ship it back home overseas? :-( No egg-chair for me….
That is SO cute! Looks so cozy – I wish I had an egg chair too!
If you want an egg shaped retreat in your garden during my vacation in England there was a willow cabin in Anne Hathaway’s house that was really pretty. If you want to see pics it’s on the third page of my album http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=644651&l=2b2ef&id=500016047.
Sorry here’s the album link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27745&l=df346&id=500016047
Ah jeez. I was waiting for the chair to get marked down more and what happened? It’s back up to full price. It may not be meant to be…
[…] a similar one from PB at MakingItLovely but the canopy on that isnt adjustable. Having an adjustable canopy is awesome. You can have it up […]
