Made to be compatible for both the outdoors and indoors, the Swing-Air Cantilever Chair is a striking piece of furniture that has a unique construction as it utilizes boat fenders as cushioning.

These bulbous fenders are excellent for the purposes of creating comfortable seating due to the fact that their [air pressure can be adjusted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one-chair) according to the user's needs. From stiff and sturdy back support all the way to body-forming elasticity, the degree of hardness can be changed to almost any requirement. With its [reclining position](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davidhugh-aiora) and [cantilever construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair), this lounge chair makes you feel like you are floating on air.

The Swing-Air Cantilever Chair has a certain amount of bend to it so you can rock yourself to sleep.
