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.

August 4, 2008 at 1:56 pmI 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…:)

August 4, 2008 at 2:35 pmas 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!

August 4, 2008 at 2:38 pmI’m too practical for this space capsule. All I can think of is the effects of weather and passing birds.

August 4, 2008 at 3:15 pmi 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…

August 4, 2008 at 3:17 pmI 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.

August 4, 2008 at 3:25 pmIt’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.”

August 4, 2008 at 3:33 pmI really love that chair! Is the perfect little cozy place where you can curl up :) *LOVE IT*

August 4, 2008 at 3:41 pmi kind of like the idea of having it inside the house.

August 4, 2008 at 5:38 pmI like the look of them, but fear they would be dreadfully uncomfortable!
Anyone ever sat in one?
elizabeth
August 4, 2008 at 6:08 pmI 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.
Stacy
August 4, 2008 at 6:53 pmLove 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.

August 4, 2008 at 7:46 pmElizabeth, 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…
Erin
August 4, 2008 at 8:37 pmI do like it, but it could be like the VW Bug- cute but weird once you get inside it.
Casey
August 4, 2008 at 10:41 pmI love it! If I had a house I’d buy it, it’s too gorgeous

August 4, 2008 at 11:53 pmI’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…
Erica
August 5, 2008 at 10:22 amIt 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!
Tracey
August 5, 2008 at 10:56 amI think it looks great, but I need more of a lounging piece in the garden. How would you nap in that?
elizabeth
August 5, 2008 at 10:57 amI am 5’5 and slim and with pillows it was too shallow to get my feet up into it..without pillows its not comfortable.

August 5, 2008 at 12:35 pmI remember chairs like those being around in the 60’s- 70’s, when I was I kid. I always thought they were so cool.

August 5, 2008 at 12:50 pmLove it!!! A couple on my deck with some flower baskets around them would look awesome. If only we had a Pottery Barn here!

August 5, 2008 at 1:43 pmI 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…

August 5, 2008 at 2:43 pmOh, 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!

August 5, 2008 at 8:12 pmI 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.

August 5, 2008 at 11:27 pmI’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!

patricia
August 6, 2008 at 6:09 amYes, 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.

August 7, 2008 at 8:33 amOh my! This egg looks so comfortable! May I seat in there?:D

August 7, 2008 at 9:03 amOK, 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.

August 9, 2008 at 7:14 amI 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….

August 11, 2008 at 7:55 pmThat is SO cute! Looks so cozy – I wish I had an egg chair too!

August 13, 2008 at 12:55 pmIf 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.
