Introducing the PAM Chair
Co-Founder and lead product designer, Lachlan Leckie discusses the form, function, inspiration, and aspirations behind his latest creation - The Pam Chair.
"It was time the humble beach chair got an upgrade. Our mission at B&PCo has always been to take everyday essentials and improve upon them, and the beach chair was ready for the challenge. Beach chairs endure sand, salt, extreme sun, and the recklessness of transportation.
The chair's design prioritized practicality over aesthetics. We aimed to strengthen and reduce weight by using a single length of aluminum tube, curving it into arches and waves, eliminating traditional crossbars that add weight and problematic joins. This engineering focus resulted in a unique design reflecting the natural world's waves and curves.
Function and comfort were paramount. We incorporated wide teakwood armrests and plush outdoor foam cushions on the seat and backrest, providing unparalleled comfort for beach-goers.
The Pam Chair is dedicated to my late grandma Pam (Pamela), who loved a good time at the beach and a comfortable seat."
