Whether your preference is for the swinging bench or the hammock, the Swing Chair can give you a wonderfully relaxing seat outdoors to soak up the yard and experience a soothing gentle sway. It can easily convert from a rocking chair into a sunbed to suit your comfort and your mood.
The archetypes of the previously mentioned pieces of patio furniture were married together and remodeled into an object that is much more practical and aesthetically elegant. Part of its appeal lies in the graceful arching structure of the tubular metal supports, webbed with a beautiful curved canopy. This can be adjusted for more or less coverage to provide protection from the sun's rays and the rain. Alberto Vasquez's Swing Chair drops its backrest to form a flat mattress and hinges it forward to preserve the upholstery.
