Swings remind me of my childhood. There’s something about them that makes me feel carefree and adventuresome. On a swing I can go as high as I can, with not a care in the world. On a swing I can get lost in my very own space.
This super-cozy Swingrest Hanging Lounger was designed by Daniel Pouzet, co-architect and designer of Dedon Island in the Philippines. It is said to be the first product to come out of Dedon’s Outdoor Living Lab. It comes with a cute little table, perfect for resting your glass of wine or iced tea on!

You’ve got to be rich to have a swing like that.
