Monaco hanging chair from Next

Monaco hanging chair

Add some sixties style to your outdoor space with this Monaco hanging chair, from Next. 

There seems to have been quite a few of these cropping up on the high street recently (compare it to the Cora hanging chair from BHS for example), meaning it's becoming easier to pick up one at a reasonable price. This particular model is not the most deluxe model – it's made from rattan and it's self assembly – but it does give you the look at a high street price.  

That price? The chair costs £399.

The Plus 4 Garden Furniture Set by John Jenkins is part of Heal’s ReDiscovers collection.

The garden table and chairs set is inspired by a classic Ambrose Heal design from 1923. Like some of the best retro dining sets, the Plus 4 is designed with space saving in mind, with the chairs tucking neatly around the edge of the table. The table and chairs are made from teak and there is a hole in the centre of the table for a parasol.

The set costs £995 (it promises to save space, not money!) from Heal’s.
