We’re all about enjoying the great outdoors as much as possible—but standing the whole time? Eh…we’re not so sure. We’ll take a lounging chair instead!

These sustainable chairs are perfect for camping, sunbathing, and relaxing in your backyard or garden—however you like to be outside. Grab an outdoor blanket (or beach towel!) and a picnic basket, and you’re all set for your next summer adventure. Happy lounging!

MasayaCo, an FSC-certified sustainable brand in Nicaragua, responsibly sources hardwoods and dries them on-site using solar kilns. The wood is then transformed into made-to-order chairs, crafted by one of 300 in-house artisans. MasayaCo is dedicating to planting more trees than they harvest, with more than 1.2 million trees planted to date. (Part of these reforestation projects are left untouched to allow nature to thrive on its own through their Seed to Seat model.) Between the stunning designs and sustainable practices, we imagine these made-for-you lounge chairs can be passed down for generations. Check out their showrooms in Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Nashville TN and Berkeley CA!
