ABOUT

Hello! I'm Lizzy Quinn, founder of The Captain Chair Co.
I am a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and I have been helping people improve their quality of life for 25 years. In 2019 I was sitting at the beach slouched in an ugly uncomfortable heavy chair and my body was hurting. I thought to myself, is this the best option I have?!
Traditional portable chairs are heavy and incredibly unsupportive. I reflected on all the hours I spent sitting - at work or home, weekend sport, outdoor living, parks, beach - and I couldn't believe that my best option was an ugly grey chair designed by a man for men.
Fast forward five years and I am launching my first line of luxury portable chairs. It's been a long journey to get to this point but my desire to produce something unique and beautiful has pushed me forward at every hurdle.
The typical folding chair does not have ergonomic curves. They also don't include high quality cushioning or internal webbing that moulds to a curved frame. The Captain chair does! I also included thick foam to unload joints and inner webbing to provide stability for backs and hips. I made sure the aluminium frame was sturdy but also incredibly lightweight and easy to carry.
There were endless hours of fabric design and variations to ensure each colour combination would bring you joy. I also wanted the chair to withstand the rigours of outdoor life so the fabric is both UV and water-resistant.
Every component of The Captain chair has been designed with comfort in mind and I hope you feel all the love I put into these chairs every time you relax in one.
