The Bear Chair is a well-known wooden garden chair, which originated in Canada. For more than three decades this chair has also been available in Europe and is now very popular. In this blog we will discuss the history of the original Bear Chair, how it is made and what makes this wooden garden chair so incredibly nice to sit in.
What is the original Bear Chair?
The original Bear Chair is a wooden garden chair designed specifically for outdoor use. This chair is made of western red cedar, a type of wood that resists various weather conditions well. The Bear Chair from Canada is often used in gardens, patios and swimming pools because of its comfort and durability.
Since 1988, the chairs have been imported into Europe by Bear Chair Europe. We distribute the original Bear Chair produced using traditional methods and high quality materials. Comfort and durability are central to the design of this chair.
The history of the Bear Chair
The Bear Chair was originally designed in Canada, where the chair was created for outdoor use in the pristine, Canadian wilderness. The design is based on the classic Adirondack chair model, but the Bear Chair is distinguished by the use of western red cedar, which is naturally highly weather-resistant.
Since Bear Chair Europe started importing the original Bear Chair, the chair has become increasingly popular over the years. The combination of comfort, longevity and the fact that the chair is made of ecologically sound wood makes it highly sought after.
Ultimate comfort thanks to ergonomic design
The ergonomic design of the original Bear Chair makes this wooden garden chair incredibly comfortable. The chair is designed with a deeper seat and a slightly sloping backrest, providing a natural and relaxed sitting position. The wide armrests provide ample support and space, making the chair perfect for extended periods of relaxation. This thoughtful design makes the Bear Chair not only a beautiful piece of garden furniture, but also a very comfortable piece of garden furniture.
The Bear Chair is made with Canadian wood
One of the things that makes the Bear Chair very special is the use of western red cedar wood. This wood is known for having a very high resistance to weathering. This is because the wood naturally contains oils that protect against insects and mold. This makes the chair last longer and the wood is less likely to crack or warp than other types of wood or, for example, chemically treated wood.
For the original Bear Chair from Canada, we use only “clear cedar. This means that the wood has no knots or other imperfections, ensuring a smooth finish. The wood is dried in a specific way, making the chair sturdy and durable. Counterfeit products often use freshly cut wood that has not been properly dried, causing the chairs to wear out faster and not last as long.
Bear Chairs of other materials
In our webshop, in addition to the original Bear Chair, we also offer other wooden garden chairs. For example, you can find the more spacious Grizzly Bear Chair or the somewhat narrower Economy Bear Chair in the webshop. Furthermore, we also have chairs, which are made of other materials. For example, the Royal Composite Bear Chairs are made of high-quality recycled plastic, which makes the chair about 7 pounds heavier and safer for use on balconies, for example. In addition, we also have a Bear Chair made of pine.
What makes the Bear Chair from Canada so special?
There are a number of aspects that make the original Bear Chair unique compared to other wooden garden chairs. The most important is the use of western red cedar, a type of wood that is both light and strong. This makes the chair easy to move, but also sturdy enough to last a long time. In addition, cedar has the property of staying cool even on hot days. This makes it more comfortable to sit in the chair, unlike metal or plastic chairs, for example.
The benefits of the Bear Chair
- Durability: the Bear Chair will last a long time because it is made of strong and weather-resistant cedar wood. This wood is naturally more resistant to fungi and insects and a variety of weather conditions, without the need for chemical treatments.
