Missed out on Lidl's egg chair? Here are five Irish companies selling hanging garden chairs

These five Irish companies are selling funky garden chairs perfect for summer

You can buy hanging garden chairs from plenty of Irish companies, such as Hammockology in Cork.

For anyone who missed out on purchasing one of Lidl’s famous hanging egg chairs yesterday, there are still plenty of places where you can purchase a funky garden chair in time for summer.

The Florabest chair went on sale in the notorious middle aisles of Lidl yesterday for €219.99 and in some stores, stock was snapped up as soon as the traffic-lit doors opened at 8am.

People went wild for the garden items, which were one of the supermarket’s most popular products last year.

If you didn’t manage to start queuing at 5:30am, like some other devoted customers, there is no need to panic.

Here are just a few of the Irish companies that you can buy similar products from.

Hammockology 

The Globo Chair from Hammockology.

This Cork-based company was founded in 2002 and specialises in sturdy hammock design.

You can get their comfy looking swinging hammock chairs from €65, with a softwood framed one, similar to Lidl’s chair, available for €650.

Hammockolgy says the chairs have been especially popular at the moment, but stock is available online and their chairs are suitable for the garden or the sitting room.
