ABOUT COMMON TIGER
The real magic is out there.
Whether it’s the mythical great outdoors, or a simple patch of grass just outside your door, being under an open sky opens up something extraordinary inside of us all.
Wild at heart. Creatures of comfort.
We wanted to savor all the views in front of us, without worrying about our backs.
We wanted to find out what’s around the bend, without a heavy chair weighing us down at every step.
We wanted to stay for another inning, another glass of wine, and just one, okay three or four, more stories.
A chair for going wherever we wanted, and staying for as long as we liked.
To honor the environment, it had to have minimal impact.
To keep up with us, it had to be easy to carry.
And to deserve a spot in our lives, it had to be beautiful too.
The start of something new.
We rolled up our sleeves and got to work, and a few years later, the Daymaker was born. We hope you’ll pull up a seat and stay awhile with us.
Love and adventure,
Laura

WHAT IS A COMMON TIGER?
Strong, graceful, striking and not actually a tiger, it’s - most unexpectedly - a butterfly. An iconic symbol of transformation, it’s a study in contrasts too. Delicate, but able to travel hundreds of miles. Beautiful, but resilient enough to adapt to changing winds. Small enough to silently flit across your path, but stunning enough to stop you in your tracks every time. It’s a natural inspiration.
Rooted in the spirit of Southern California, our female founded, women-led team is made up of dreamers, explorers, and doers from across the globe.
Laura Rogers, Founder.
Some of my favorite memories are the simplest ones—unhurried mornings by the lake, evenings spent watching the sunset, or moonlit nights in good company sharing stories.
But I always felt something was missing—seating made to linger in those moments.
Common Tiger was born from that need/necessity: to create seating that effortlessly fits into the rhythm of life outdoors. I wanted something that feels as good on the soccer sidelines as it does around a fire pit under the stars, a chair that invites you to pause, settle in, and stay a while.
Blending innovation and thoughtful design with a commitment to craftsmanship, Common Tiger makes outdoor living feel like an extension of home. Every design decision has been made with intention so that, season after season, our seating is not just comfortable but a joy to use wherever you are. Our materials respect the environments where our products are enjoyed. Built with longevity in mind, each piece is designed to be refreshed and renewed throughout its life and recyclable when the time comes.
For me, it’s not about where we go; it’s about how we feel when we are there—and Common Tiger is my answer to transforming our moments into memories.
