Why We Broke Up With Beach Chairs

Why We Broke Up With Beach Chairs

 

For years, we accepted the idea that a beach day required a beach chair.

A bulky chair. A heavy chair. A chair that barely fits in the trunk, gets tangled with towels, and somehow always manages to bump into your legs while you’re carrying it across the sand.

The truth? Most of us don’t actually want to sit upright at the beach.

We want to lounge.

We want to read a book, watch the waves, enjoy a coffee, or spend an afternoon under the sun without carrying half our house with us.

That’s exactly why we created Le Backrest.

Inspired by a simple beach hack used by my father in the South of France, Le Backrest gives you comfortable support while keeping the freedom of sitting directly on the sand.

Unlike traditional beach chairs, it folds flat, weighs less than two pounds, and fits easily into a tote bag.

No more awkward carrying.
No more clunky frames.
No more ruining your beach aesthetic.

Just comfortable support when you need it.

We designed Le Backrest for people who love long beach days but don’t want to bring more than necessary.

Because the best beach gear is the gear you actually want to carry.

Lightweight. Foldable. Comfortable.

Somewhere between the South of France and Southern California.
