The Korbwerk, the Heringsdorf beach chair manufacturer, advertises its products with the slogan “Old school, new design”. In XXL format you can admire the craftsmanship next to the pier, because there is the largest beach chair in the world measuring 6.40 x 4.15 x 3.33 meters. There is room for at least seventy people here.

In Heringsdorf is the largest beach chair in the world. It measures six by four by three meters, has lights and even a WLAN hotspot right next door. The basket was built by the “Korbwerk Manufaktur”. For months, the carpenters and weavers of the oldest still producing beach chair manufacturer in Germany worked on this top-class beach furniture. They processed around 3.5 cubic meters of wood, 85 square meters of fabric and three kilometers of braided tape in well over 1000 hours. Even a foundation was poured for the new Heringsdorf landmark.

A giant beach chair has been on the island of Usedom since 2014. It should offer space for at least 70 people. It was built by the oldest beach chair factory still in production. The G8 beach chair from 2007 was created there.

In the future, a giant beach chair will invite you to linger and surf the Internet on the island of Usedom. The XXL beach furniture was opened in 2014 at the Heringsdorfs pier after around six months of construction. 91 people were seated at the opening, said Mayor Lars Petersen. The 6 x 4 meter beach chair was built by the beach chair manufacturer "Korbwerk" in Heringsdorf. The legendary beach chair for the G8 summit in 2007 in Heiligendamm had already been made there. The beach chair manufacturer wants to use the furniture to draw attention to the 90-year-old beach chair production on Usedom.

It's a striking advertisement for the tourism industry. "We hope that the beach chair will become one of the most photographed sights on the island of Usedom," said the managing director of the "Korbwerk" manufacture, Dirk Mund. Last year the municipality, Usedom Tourismus GmbH, Landesmarketing MV and the factory decided to build the beach chair.

According to the company, around 3.5 cubic meters of wood, 85 square meters of fabric and three kilometers of braided tape were processed. A foundation was poured for the new landmark so that it would not tip over. The beach chair has a wireless network. In addition to the crew of the beach chair factory, a structural engineer, a carpenter and a roofer were also involved in the project. The beach chair should be on the promenade all year round.
