A chair dedicated to your enjoyment.
Our first hanging chair was built from the remains of a horse drawn wagon wheel. Jan Buckman created a taut webbing service on a 44-inch diameter steel hoop and hung it from the ceiling at a 30-degree tilt. Jan took one look at it and decided it was perfect for the kids to swing on, for couples to curl up together, and just for “hanging out.”
As perfect as it looked, however, it didn’t seem ideal if you wanted to sit, lean back, or have your feet planted on the floor. So Jan remedied the problem with a bunch of pillows and decorative fringe, not knowing that this would be the prototype of the CEE chair.
Fellow inventor Kurt Buetow’s Sky Chair further inspired Jan and Tom Buckman. They inherited one of his chairs, and with Kurt’s blessing, they conducted vigorous tests and made refinements to his design. Eventually, they named the project CEE Chair.
All components of the seats and armatures of the CEE Hanging Chair are hand-crafted in Hager City, WI by Jan and Tom. The first priority in the design has been comfort and good lumbar support. Their second objective is to achieve a clean looking piece of quality furniture. The result is a functional chair made to last, using only the finest materials.
