This one-of-a-kind folding Adirondack chair is handcrafted from restored vintage Volkl downhill skis, transforming authentic ski equipment into functional mountain-inspired furniture.
 
Featuring early parabolic Volkl skis in a bold red and blue color combination, this chair preserves the original graphics, character, and history of the skis while giving them a second life as a durable and comfortable piece of furniture.
 
What makes this chair truly unique is the design. Folding Adirondack chairs exist, and ski chairs exist, but a folding Adirondack chair made from authentic skis is a rare combination. This innovative design allows the chair to provide the comfort and style of an Adirondack chair while also offering the convenience of easy storage and transport.
 
Each chair is individually handcrafted with a focus on both beauty and longevity. Every ski is carefully restored before becoming part of the chair: rust is removed from the ski edges, binding holes are filled and color-matched to blend with the original top sheet graphics, edges are sealed for protection, and a clear protective finish is applied to help preserve the ski's original beauty and shine.
 
The restored skis are paired with carefully selected rot-resistant white oak hardwood and stainless steel weather-resistant hardware. The result is a sturdy, comfortable Adirondack chair built with the attention to detail expected from handcrafted furniture — not simply a novelty piece.
 
Great care is taken throughout the process because skis, although built for demanding mountain conditions, are not indestructible. Moisture, freezing temperatures, UV exposure, and time can cause rust, fading, and delamination. Each chair is created with the goal of preserving the beauty and story of the original skis while creating an heirloom-quality piece that can be enjoyed for years.
 
Each chair is signed and dated by the artist.
 
Handcrafted in Lake Placid, New York — a community with deep winter sports roots and the proud distinction of hosting the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games. These chairs are created in the heart of a place where ski history and mountain culture are part of everyday life.
 
Perfect for ski lodges, mountain homes, cabins, patios, decks, vacation homes, and anyone who appreciates handmade furniture with a story.
