This intriguing, experimental Eclipse chair is by Denmark-based designer Anne Brandhøj.
"Eclipse is a spatial seating furniture molded from the circle as geometric shape. Poetically, the circles frames the person sitting in it, while forming both a seat and a shading screen in the same construction."

"The chair is intended as a defined thinking space under the open sky. In terms of shape, the circle and the seat is in contrast to each other but united by all the windings that make up the seat."

"The diameter of the front circle is slightly larger than the circle in the back, indicating the front of the chair, by being more open."

"The flexibility of rattan as a material has made it possible to steam bend the two large perfect circles. In spite of the large quantity of material used in this chair, the piece is still light given the very low density of rattan."

If it were to actually be used outdoors, I'd like to see more of a canopy. But overall if I walked into a space and saw this chair, I wouldn't not be able to sit in it. Something about that circle just draws you in.
