A floating seat invented in the early 1960s...

Here is his story:
It was in 1962 that Jean-Paul and Roger Détrie filed the patent for the invention of a deckchair with a unique concept: the pendulum system structure frees the body from gravity for optimal relaxation. They make approximately 2000 Relax between 1963 and 1983 in the French Basque Country. Anne-Laure Détrie Gras, the granddaughter of Roger Détrie wishes to breathe new life into this project, which is both innovative and authentic. She then contacted Coralie Frick and Arnaud Le Cat, a duo of Parisian designers.
“When Anne-Laure, Coralie and Arnaud came to see us, it was obvious for us to support them in the success of this magnificent project. The result is atypical and attracts attention while remaining discreet and elegant: everything we love. Hamaka is a very beautiful human and family story....
We hope that it will meet design lovers but also long naps, moments of daydreaming and good times with friends."

Nouvelle version du très beau Hamaka, complètement outdoor...
Les accoudoirs en chêne sont remplacés par des accoudoirs en inox thermolaqué et une structure en inox 304L. Le plaisir de se balancer reste le même...
Coralie Frick, born in 1983 in Liechtenstein andArnaud Le Cat, born in 1985 in Paris, invent and design functional and refined design pieces to accompany new lifestyles, light and in motion.
Objects after objects - under the label“You Can Sleep in the Barn” they draw the contours of a minimalist, quality and moving living environment, as part of a French-made approach. Thus, they rigorously reinvent everyday objects to make them timeless and obvious with a refined aesthetic that follows 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.”
