What's a Playamigo?

Playamigo is a versatile, well-made and great-looking portable chair with integrated carrying capacity. It combines seating and storage for people who love relaxing outdoors but don’t love hauling lots of cumbersome gear to get there. Its innovative wedge-shaped design has an internal frame that provides structural support as you recline, but it's still sleek and lightweight so it's comfortable to carry and easy to maneuver.
