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 sharing stories in good company. But I always felt something was missing: comfortable seating to let you linger in those moments.
So I hunted; and found nothing. And when I asked others for recommendations, I discovered a shared yearning for something that didn’t exist. I answered this call with Common Tiger - determined to create seating that feels just as good on the soccer sidelines as it does around a fire pit under the stars. A seat that invites us to pause, settle in, and stay awhile.
Building it has been a team effort. I’m grateful to work alongside a talented, global group, from industrial designers in Australia to our product and marketing team in the Netherlands. Working together virtually hasn’t always been easy, but a collaboration rooted in shared values and passion is the secret sauce that makes Common Tiger unique.
Blending intentional design and innovation with a commitment to craftsmanship, Common Tiger makes outdoor living feel like an extension of home. Every design choice is purposeful, ensuring our seating is not only comfortable but a joy to use season after season. We choose materials designed to be refreshed and renewed throughout their life, that respect the places where our products are enjoyed and that embrace the principles of circularity.
With Common Tiger, you have something truly special—products that value quality, honor the environment, and invite you to transform moments into lasting memories.
