When asked about some of the most sought-after leisure scenarios in the hospitality (and food service) industries, lounging around a fire pit on oversized Adirondack chairs under an expansive open sky is frequently top of the list. These customers seek environments that are comfortable and communal, spacious and social, stylish and safe, while wrapped in a calming charm.
Why Adirondacks?
The Adirondack chair was designed in the early 1900s by Thomas Lee, who created the first version while vacationing in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Lee wanted a comfortable chair for his family to enjoy the outdoors, so he crafted a simple design with wide armrests and a slanted back, made from local materials. Now a staple in outdoor furniture, recreationists love its rustic and ergonomic design.
Whether sitting for long periods of time or taking a break to enjoy a quick beverage, guests appreciate a well-made, comfortable Adirondack to relax in. Look for Adirondacks made of weather-resistant materials for durability for outdoor use. Lightweight options are preferred as they offer easy mobility without compromising stability; low maintenance chairs are favored as they require less upkeep over time. There are a number of choices to complement your venue’s style and the overall look of your outdoor space. Choose a display that fits the layout of your firepit and can accommodate the desired number of guests.
Aesthetic appeal matters, but not at the expense of having appropriate safety protocols in place. While mesh screens, heat-resistant surfaces, and proper ventilation are critical for firepit safety, users must ensure that the surrounding Adirondacks are positioned far enough away from open flames, heat or fuel sources, as well as control panels that could block user access or interrupt guest traffic flow.

Grosfillex Adirondack chairs are a practical choice when looking for stylish and functional outdoor seating to adorn an inviting outdoor firepit environment.
Manufacturing Magic
Grosfillex Adirondack chairs are crafted using a proprietary manufacturing process that emphasizes durability and ease of maintenance. The Adirondacks are made from high-quality resin, MPC (Mineral Polymer Composite), which achieves the dramatic wood-like finish and is strong, resisting fading, cracking, and weather damage.
The resin is heated then injected into molds to form the chair's components. This process allows for intricate designs and uniformity to literally take shape. Once the resin is molded, the parts are cooled and removed from the molds where they undergo a finishing process to ensure smooth edges, consistent coloration and a polished look.
The component parts are then assembled to ensure maximum stability and durability. Each chair goes through a quality control process to check for defects and ensure that they meet the brand’s high standards.
Finally, the completed chairs are packaged for shipping, in an optimized footprint with utmost attention to protection during transit.
