Ontwerpduo's suspended bird cage 'Cageling' chair is like an oversized bird cage fit to seat a human. The striking chair retains a traditional bird cage shape, but is scaled up with the appropriate dimensions to fit the human form.
The thought of a chair modeled after any sort of cage could easily cause discomfort, but the Cageling chair manages to be light and airy, leaving its users feeling "free as a bird" rather than truly contained.
The suspended chair is made from colored steel, which is available in 48 colors and complimented by pillows of the same color. Although it would look just as good inside as it would outside, the steel frame of the cage is ideal for outdoor use, especially since it has built-in holes on its seat to help with water drainage.
