Aviator Egg Chair

A cockpit of your own. The Aviator Egg Chair takes the sculptural swivel-pod shape of a mid-century egg chair and wraps it in a hand-riveted aluminum shell — part vintage fighter jet, part futuristic pod.

It's a full 360° swivel seat that turns any corner into the most interesting spot in the room.

The Design Story

Each shell is hand-hammered from aluminum panels and joined with visible steel rivets, giving it a weathered, "real aircraft" texture rather than a smooth, mass-produced finish. The shape borrows from two eras at once: the enclosed, cradling pod silhouette of a 1960s egg chair, and the riveted skin of a 1940s Spitfire fuselage.

Built for Comfort, Not Just Looks

Inside the shell, a cushioned seat gives you a genuinely enclosed, private place to sit — the high back and wraparound shape naturally muffle surrounding noise, so it doubles as a quiet corner as much as a design statement. A reinforced aluminum base lets it rotate smoothly through a full circle, with a protective, non-marking ring on the bottom to keep hardwood, tile, or marble floors scratch-free.

Styling Tip

Give it room to swivel — float it slightly away from the wall with a small round side table nearby, rather than tucking it into a tight corner.
