While the chair’s legs and other components are usually made with traditional materials such as plastic or metal, the seating and back portions of the chair are made with bungee.
[1] Bungee chairs are noted for their distinctive style and form.
[2][3] The open spaces between each bungee band tend to give the chair a unique sense of breathability and "bounce".
[4][5] The chair's bungee bands can be either rounded or flattened, and the number of bands on each make of bungee chair may vary.
A relatively obscure form of chair a decade ago, the bungee chair is now common in many retail locations.
