"Almost an Egg" presents an innovative solution to the enduring challenge of outdoor furniture maintenance. Outdoor chairs often face issues with dirt and moisture accumulation, particularly after adverse weather conditions. This accumulation not only renders the furniture temporarily unusable but also poses significant cleaning challenges.



The chair's standout feature is its rotational capability, which offers a practical remedy to this problem. By enabling the seat portion to rotate, the interior fabric can be inverted to face downwards when not in use. This strategic rotation effectively shields the interior from unexpected weather elements, preserving the fabric's cleanliness and dryness over prolonged periods.



As a result, "Almost an Egg" not only enhances convenience but also extends the lifespan of outdoor furniture in challenging environments. Its thoughtful design ensures that outdoor seating remains both functional and aesthetically pleasing, even amidst harsh weather conditions.
