The firstBeach chair was created in 1882 and was built by the royal basket maker Wilhelm Bartelmann as a beach chair for the noble lady Friederike M altzahn, because she liked to protect herself from the wind and too much sun on the beach wanted to protect. The inventor of the beach chair also opened the first beach chair rental in the world in Rostock a year later with his comfortable achievement. After a few years there were already a few hundred beach chairs on the North and B altic Seas. There are now over 50,000 beach chairs to be found worldwide on a wide variety of beaches in holiday paradises such as Mallorca, Florida, the Caribbean Islands, Italy and Australia.
Making a beach chair
The beach chairs are made by hand, as they were at the time of their invention, and are woven from wood, although the components used are made of plastic and fabric but are reusable. A beach chair can be made with a wide variety of upholstery, braids and metal/plastic parts and there is a large selection of colors. When making a beach chair, Nordic wood, mahogany, teak (teak furniture) and other solid high-quality woods that are easy to weave are used.
Beach chair types
In our time there are single-seater, two-seater, three-seater, XL, nostalgic, mini and children's beach chairs with different features and colors to choose from.
Prices and sales
A good handmade beach chair - “the little garden house” is available in hardware stores and specialist stores from 380 euros to 400 euros. Depending on your individual setting and wishes, appropriate accessories such as pillows, side tables, neck rolls, book bags and more are available, which, however, increases the price. There are numerous providers on the Internet who offer shipping. Shipping is often cheaper.
Positive aspects
If you have back problems, are plagued by stress or just want to relax, a beach chair is the ideal place to rest. The beach chair promotes he alth, protects against wind and sun and, above all, serves for peaceful relaxation. The garden lounger, the garden chair, the garden bench, the porch swing, the hammock and the parasol are also used for relaxation. A beach chair doesn't actually have any negative aspects.
