The search for the perfect chair…

The original Adirondack chair was created in 1903 by inventor Thomas Lee who set out to make the perfect chairs for his lake house in the Adirondack Mountains. The chair spread beyond his back deck when local health spas started using it for their tuberculosis patients (sitting outdoors in the fresh air was advised for healing!) and eventually became the ubiquitous outdoor chair design. 

In 2022, I started exploring a long-held idea to create my own version of the outdoor chair, one that would help me make the most of the beautiful Australian summer by actually being comfortable enough to sit in after a long day of work! I updated the chair with a curved seat and backrest that makes it comfortable to sit in even without a pillow or cushion (no more numb bum!), and traded in treated pine for Australian hardwood to make it more durable for Australian weather. I loved the design and I hope you’ll love it too.

  • I can’t wait for the warmer weather to be able to lounge in the sun in the Adirondack chair. Super comfy and perfect for a late afternoon nap in the sun after a few beers and a BBQ.

  • As an older person I wasn’t too sure, but they are surprisingly comfortable, even without the need for a cushion, and I could sit in it all day.
