RALEIGH, N.C., April 17, 2025—Shibumi the brand behind the world’s most innovative, wind-powered beach shade is leveling up the art of lounging with its first ever beach chair. Designed for effortless comfort and portability, this marks a natural evolution for Shibumi, whose shades have been redefining beach days for years. The comfort-first design invites beachgoers to sit back, sink in and lounge harder.
Founded in 2016 by two brothers and their childhood friend, Shibumi’s signature teal and blue fabrics dominate North and South Carolina beaches. With plans to expand to coastlines internationally, the brand recently announced new colorways for its beach shade and now, a beach chair that brings innovative design, comfort, and durability to the world of beach gear.
“Our team set out to solve the biggest frustrations with traditional beach chairs—uncomfortable design, subpar materials, and difficult portability. With the Shibumi Chair, we’ve reimagined every detail to create a chair that’s not only more comfortable but also more durable than anything on the market. From the breathable DreamWave™ fabric to the marine-grade aluminum NapCurve™ frame, we designed this chair to last season after season while making every beach day more relaxing,” said Scott Barnes, Shibumi Co-Founder.
More features of the Shibumi Chair:
- Four Recline Positions: Enjoy customizable comfort with four recline settings, perfect for lounging, reading, or taking a nap.
- Padded Backpack Straps: For easy portability, the chair features padded backpack straps, making it convenient to carry to and from the beach.
- Two Accessory Ports: Keep drinks and essentials close at hand with two accessory ports for added convenience.
- Marine-Grade Anti-Rust Frame: Built to withstand the elements, the chair’s frame is made from anti-rust, marine-grade materials, ensuring long-lasting durability.
- Weight Capacity: The chair supports up to 300 pounds, providing a stable and secure seating solution.
The Shibumi Chair is available now for purchase on the Shibumi website and at select retail locations.
