A limited edition print featuring artwork by Ben Horton as part of the RVCA x Helinox Collaboration. Chair One’s comfort is legendary, and with its ability to move easily from backpacking trips to music festivals to days at the beach, its versatility is unmatched.
Ben Horton first gained notoriety through graphics he created for skateboards decks - himself a skateboarder, with over 15 years of disservice to his joints. Horton’s ideas come from photographs and his life experiences. The people that inhabit Horton’s canvases have an indefinable connection, something gleamed from their expressions or eyes.
There is richness and familiarity in his cast of characters. Birds are a common theme, swooping, and soaring throughout the foregrounds and backgrounds of the works. He exploits his artistic talents on various acrylics, house paints, ink and sharpie pens. Whatever is lying around and easily available to him. For Ben Horton environmental advocacy is important. Therefore, he feels the need to contribute to the preservation of species through the documentation of them in his work.

Chair Zero is perfect for carrying on two feet. It's the lightest portable chair Helinox makes. The trade-off is some comfort – the seat lacks the mesh ventilation panels of Chair One and some people find it a little tight around the hips. Chair Zero also sits a little lower to the ground than Chair One. If you don't mind carrying the extra weight, Chair One is the perfect all-rounder. However when weight is critical, Chair Zero is the only way to go.
Chair One's bag includes a carry loop at each end. Most Chair One cases (style dependent) also feature a webbing ladder. An optional Shoulder Strap accessory can be attached to the carry loops for easy over-the-shoulder transport. When setting up the chair, the carry bag loops can be placed over the lower seat poles before attaching the seat. This means the bag won't get lost and it can be used as a handy storage compartment under the seat.
Chair One supports 320 pounds or 145 kilograms.
The lowest part of Chair One's seat is approximately 10.5 inches or 27 cm off the ground.
At Helinox we refer to 'low profile' chairs as those that sit you closer to the ground. A lower seated height is one of the ways we save weight in models like Chair Zero and Chair One. We also offer Sunset Chair and Savanna Chair for those that prefer a higher seat.

Seats and carry bags should be hand washed in warm water using a mild detergent. Seats and carry bags are not machine washable. Ensure fabric is completely dry before packing away for storage.
Your chair should be stored in its original carry bag in a dry location. Always ensure the chair is completely dry before placing into storage. Chairs should never be stored damp or wet.
Always start by fitting the seat to the upper rear poles. Then lay the chair on its back. Use your body weight to flex the lower seat poles into the pockets. Brand new seats can be a little tight but don't worry, they will stretch slightly with use.
All Helinox frames are anodized to protect against corrosion. However the anodized coating will be fighting a losing battle if you pack your chair away wet and leave it that way. So always ensure your chair is completely dry before storing it. If the frame is exposed to salt water, always rinse with fresh water and leave to dry before packing away for storage.
Yes! Shock-cord that gets damaged can be replaced to keep your Helinox chair active for many years.
We sell a number of accessories such as Ball Feet and Ground Sheets that prevent chair legs sinking in soft ground.
