Known as the Globo Royal Hanging Chair, the Rolls Royce of the Hammock furniture has truly arrived. In fact, it is so large that it can fit two people quite comfortably.
However, such is the comfort offered by (what in effect can only be described as a hanging sofa), it may be best to simply hang it inside to make the most of it all year round; we thought about hanging it in a room with large ceilings, overlooking a well manicured garden or even near an indoor swimming pool.
