The Colorado Ski Chair Company was created by Colorado sculptor and metal fabricator Glenn Vogel of Got Metal. The inspiration for these plush seating arrangements however, came from Glenn’s daughter.  While Glenn was snowboarding with his daughter Tessa Marie, the lift that they were riding came to a sudden stop, and the chair that they were sitting on continued to swing. Tessa turned to her dad and said “wouldn’t it be cool to have a swing like this in our home instead of a sofa?”  Less than a year later, the first two chairs became a reality, swinging from the great room ceiling of the family’s new home in Evergreen, Colorado.

Taking his daughters vision, Glenn designed an upscale ski chair, reaching  far beyond the typical retired ski chair that one could occasionally find hanging outside of a Colorado home hanging from a piece of chain.  Glenn designed not only a piece of highly refined furniture, but also created a piece of suspended, and more importantly, animated seating.  Only the finest materials are used in his products, and the level of comfort is truly exceptional.

The heavy duty precision radial bearing and axle assembly allows the chair to swing quietly, with minimal effort, and for lengthy periods of time. All that it takes is a gentle push of your foot.  It was important to both Glenn and Tessa that the chair be so smooth and quiet that a baby would soon fall asleep with the gentle back and forth rhythm.  Tessa insisted that infant seat mounts be installed for no additional charge, whenever they are requested.

Tessa spoke, we listened.
