Cool furniture is an important touch that personalizes your space, it fulfils lots of functions including decorative one and gives you comfort. One of such cool furniture pieces is a Papasan chair, also known as a dish chair, a moon chair, or a bowl chair, and if you still hesitate whether you need it or not, let's find out what kind of chair it is and whether it's worth buying or not.

What Is A Papasan Chair

The Papasan chair works like a baseball glove that makes you feel snug and secure. These chairs, originally Asian, became popular in America during World War II, and have been a trendy icon ever since. The design is simple: a round shaped seat, like a bowl, cushioned with a large plush pillow.

The frames of the Papasan chairs were traditionally constructed out of rattan but today they can be crafted out of sturdy organic materials like wicker or wood. As for the futon and pillows, the fabric types are totally up to you.

Types Of Papasan Chairs

The standard Papasan chair is a model of the basic type. It has an upright frame and a base, topped with a fabric for cushioning. The upright frame is slightly reclined, for extra adjustment to your relaxing posture. The round bowl shape of the chair provides a casual coziness for anyone who curls up in the seat.

The Mamasan chair is a double Papasan chair, it elongates the circular bowl design of a regular Papasan chair into an oval deep seat, spacious enough to accommodate two people. The frame is crafted similar to a Papasan chair, and combined with a longer cushion.

While the basic Papasan is perfectly circular, the Swivel Rocker is vertically upright with the same frame and cushion combination. The swivel attached to the base helps recline and rock the chair as you sit in it. It is a chair you can 'live in'!
