you are sitting in a Kermit Chair

the original, handmade, fully packable chair of it's kind crafted out of wood - this iconic design dates back to 1984

Our Story

In 1984, BMW motorcyclist Kermit Easterling needed a chair that was light enough to pack on his bike but sturdy and comfortable after a long ride. When he couldn’t find one, he built his own. Friends took notice at campouts and rallies, and soon, the Kermit Chair created it's own cult following.

When Kermit retired in 2003, fellow rider Tom Sherrill took over, keeping production local in Tennessee and continuing to produce the original design. Today, the chair is still handcrafted using oak or walnut wood, aluminum hardware, and tough 1000D nylon fabric.

What started as a rider’s solution has become a worldwide favorite for campers, travellers, and loungers around the world.

Still made by hand. Still made without obsolescence. We hope you're feeling relaxed...

Classic Chair

The "Classic Chair" is built to the original 1984 specifications of the first Kermit Chair, preserving its timeless design, craftsmanship, and functionality. Each chair is handcrafted using locally sourced oak wood, durable aluminum hardware, and 1000D nylon fabric—ensuring strength, comfort, and long-lasting performance.

These are routinely offered in solid white oak or black walnut wood.

Taller Chair

The "Taller Chair" offers the same design, materials, and comfort as our classic Kermit Chair, but with an added 3 inches of seat height. This slight elevation makes getting in and out of the chair easier, especially for taller users or those who prefer a higher seating position.

These are routinely offered in solid white oak wood.
