In 1962, Jean-Paul and Roger Détrie filed a patent for a unique deckchair: its pendulum-like structure frees the body from gravity for optimal relaxation. They manufactured approximately 2,000 Relax chairs between 1963 and 1983 in the French Basque Country. Anne-Laure Détrie Gras, Roger Détrie's granddaughter, wanted to breathe new life into this innovative and authentic project. She contacted Coralie Frick and Arnaud Le Cat, a Parisian design duo.
Original model designed by Jean-Paul and Roger Détrie in 1962
“When Anne-Laure, Coralie, and Arnaud approached us, it was clear to us that we should support them in the success of this magnificent project. The result is unique and eye-catching, yet discreet and elegant: everything we love. Hamaka is a beautiful human and family story…”
We hope it will appeal to design enthusiasts, but also to those who enjoy long naps, moments of daydreaming, and good times with friends.

New version of the very beautiful Hamaka, completely outdoor...

Coralie Frick, born in 1983 in Liechtenstein, and Arnaud Le Cat, born in 1985 in Paris, invent and design functional and streamlined design pieces to accompany new, light and mobile lifestyles.
Object after object – under the label “You Can Sleep in the Barn” – they are outlining the contours of a minimalist, high-quality, and dynamic living environment, all while adhering to a French manufacturing approach. In this way, they meticulously reinvent everyday objects, rendering them timeless and essential with a refined aesthetic that prioritizes function.
“The association with Coralie Frick and Arnaud Le Cat was the discovery of a new universe, imbued with creation, reflection and exchanges.
Airborne opened its doors to support us in this production process. Hamaka is a unique concept of individual swing, which does not exist on the market. The success of Hamaka will also be dedicated to my ancestors and the people who encouraged me.”
