Explore Shade Structure

Shade structures are architectural features created to deliver comfort and protection in outdoor environments. Their primary purpose is to shield people from direct sunlight, but many also offer shelter from wind, light rain, and other natural elements. By combining functionality with design, shade structures transform open spaces like rooftops, patios, gardens, and poolside areas into inviting retreats that can be enjoyed throughout the day.

Versatility in Placement

With both ceiling-mounted and freestanding options, hanging chairs adapt effortlessly to different spaces. Use a ceiling mount under a pergola for a sleek, integrated look, or opt for a freestanding base where ceilings aren’t available. This flexibility makes them an easy addition to rooftops, terraces, and patios of any scale.

Shade Structure Benefits

Unique Seating Experience

The gentle swinging motion offers a playful yet soothing way to relax outdoors—combining comfort and fun in one.
Flexible Mounting

Ceiling installation creates a minimalist, floating effect, while freestanding frames allow placement anywhere without structural changes.

Compact & Space-Saving

Ideal for smaller decks or corners, hanging chairs provide comfort without occupying as much space as lounge sets.

Stylish Focal Point

Their sculptural form and cozy cushions make them a striking design statement that enhances overall ambiance.

All-Season Durability

Made from weather-resistant materials and outdoor fabrics, they retain beauty and performance year after year.

Private Retreat

A cozy cocoon effect creates a sense of privacy, making it the perfect spot for quiet relaxation.

A Relaxing Escape

A hanging chair is more than seating—it’s a retreat. The gentle sway provides a calming, hammock-like experience, perfect for reading, unwinding, or simply soaking in rooftop views. Whether suspended from the ceiling or standing independently, it creates a sense of intimacy and relaxation unmatched by traditional seating.
