Hanging Out

Every now and then, you need an escape. A nearby escape. Dedon designer Daniel Pouzet happily facilitates such a fancy with Swingrest, which takes the classic porch standard to new dimensions — 76 3⁄4 inches in diameter, to be exact. The suspended lounger’s basketlike bottom is woven from proprietary synthetic resin, while the circular aluminum frame hangs from UV-resistant ropes that support up to 770 pounds. High-pressure laminate forms the top of the super-convenient table, which rotates 180 degrees on its post of powder-coated aluminum, and the base cushion comes covered in waterproof acrylic, in a choice of 24 colors, or three colors of poly-urethane vinyl. (Decorative pillows not included.) Terra-firma types, never fear: Swingrest also comes in a standing version that swivels.
