About this asset

This contemporary natural wood hanging chair for SketchUp features a distinct spherical, slat-based structure suspended by a wire. Constructed from thin, bent wood slats, this spherical hanging chair offers a light, airy aesthetic suitable for modern interiors. The design consists of a series of parallel timber ribs that form a semi-enclosed, cocoon-like seating shell, allowing light to pass through the structure. It is suspended from a single central point via a thin cable, giving it a floating appearance. The natural wood finish highlights the grain and geometry of the slats, creating a sculptural focal point that balances organic form with precise, rhythmic construction techniques.

The download is a 502 KB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.

Within SketchUp, this model is best utilised as a component. Users can easily scale the chair to suit specific ceiling heights or adjust the suspension cable length by editing the component geometry. Given its lightweight construction, it is ideal for populating interior renders without inflating file sizes. Applying a high-quality wood grain texture to the slats will enhance the realism, particularly when combined with soft, ambient lighting setups that accentuate the shadow play within the internal cavity.

This piece works well in residential living areas, sunrooms, or boutique hotel lobbies where a relaxed, contemporary vibe is required. It pairs effectively with minimalist furniture or soft, tactile textiles like wool throws or linen cushions to contrast with the rigid wood structure. Professionals looking for sculptural seating or accent pieces for casual reading nooks will find this model a versatile addition to their libraries when searching for suspended furniture, slat-style chairs, or modern organic decor elements for architectural visualisations.
