Necessity is the Mother of Invention



XCHAIR®

We spoke to hundreds of thousands of customers as we travelled across the USA selling our fine hammocks and hammock chairs.

We learned that the main barrier to increased sales and use of our fabulous products, was a lack of structure. We heard the same thing over and over:

"How do I hang it?"

"I love it, but I don't have a place to hang it."

Eventually, I began to draw sketches and bend wire models. During the conceptual refinement process, there was a period of weeks where I barely slept at all. I could expand this narrowing process at great length. Some other time.

I built rough scale prototypes and I tested various materials over a period of weeks.

I found a local artist who could build a close approximation of my concept, which was to be the most compact, most aesthetic hammock chair stand available.

My invention is the only UNIVERSAL hammock chair stand:

A.K.A. XCHAIR®

I filed for a patent in 2003, and received my patent after 3 years of prosecution.

The main markets for XCHAIR® are currently USA, Canada, Japan, and Australia.

And the buzz is spreading with each one.

Try it, you'll LOVE it!
