sling chair

Canvas hanging lounger

A sling chair is a lightweight chair with a fabric or leather seat suspended from a frame, typically of wood or metal.

The seat hangs like a sling or hammock, conforming to the sitter's body: She settled into the canvas sling chair on the patio.

Common in mid-century modern design and outdoor furniture.
