About Us

Our Mission

At Ostrich Chair, we believe that quality beach time and true comfort are everything. Our mission is to reinvent relaxation on the beach, one chair at a time.

In a world overflowing with emails, alerts, newsfeeds, and nonstop notifications, we exist to bring people back to the moment. To help our community disconnect from the noise and reconnect with that unmistakable beach day feeling, any day of the week.

This is the moment our customer finds balance. When the pressure of what they should be doing fades, and they finally settle into what they want to be doing: relaxing, unwinding, and savoring the beach the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Brand Values

Comfort Without Compromise

Everything we create is built around one promise: your beach time should feel effortless. From design to materials, comfort leads every decision.

Presence Over Distraction

We champion moments that pull you away from the noise - away from screens, alerts, and the constant pull of “should.” Our products help you settle into what truly matters: being present.

Innovation With Purpose

We don’t innovate for innovation’s sake. We rethink beach essentials to solve real problems and elevate the experience of relaxation, one smart design at a time.

Enjoyment Every Day of the Week

The beach shouldn’t be reserved for rare getaways. We aim to deliver that “Beach Day” feeling whenever our community opens their chair, whether it’s on the sand, by the pool, or in the backyard.

Community at the Core

We design for people who love the sun, the water, and the joy of unwinding. Our growth is fueled by a loyal community, and we remain committed to serving them with quality, integrity, and care.

The Ostrich Chair Journey

Reinventing Beachside Comfort, One Milestone at a Time

2003

The Spark That Caught Fire

New Jersey native and future co-founder Dave D’Alessandro was on his honeymoon trying to relax with a book, enjoy the sun, and lose track of time. But the moment he flipped onto his stomach, comfort vanished. Reading was suddenly awkward. Relaxation was interrupted.

That small annoyance ignited a big idea: beach time should never feel uncomfortable.

He began sketching a chair that worked with the way people truly unwind. A chair that made it effortless to stay in the moment.

Dave shared his concept with longtime friend Adam Tesser, who immediately saw its potential.

Adam brought business insight, intuition, and momentum to the idea.

The partnership formed instantly.

2004

OSTRICH Is Born

Under Deltess Corp., Ostrich officially came to life.

The mission was clear from day one: reinvent how people relax on the beach.

Every detail centered on comfort, versatility, and helping people reconnect with that unmistakable beach day feeling.

Two years of refinement, testing, and a utility patent later, the idea became real.

2005

The First Product Launch

The OSTRICH 3N1 Chair made its debut.

The response was immediate and enthusiastic, confirming what Dave and Adam believed from the start:

People were craving a better way to enjoy their time in the sun.

2006–2015

The Product Line Expands

The mission kept growing, and so did the collection.

Ostrich introduced:

  • The Chaise Lounge
  • The On-Your-Back Chair
  • The Ladies Comfort Lounger
  • An expanding family of beach necessities including lounges, umbrellas, and towels

Each product shared the same purpose: bring people back to the moment and elevate their comfort at the beach.

2016–Today

A Community Built on Comfort

Ostrich products now serve loyal beachgoers across the U.S., Canada, and Australia, with Europe on the horizon.

Proudly rooted in New Jersey, the brand continues to innovate, expand, and form meaningful partnerships.

Because when beachgoers settle into an Ostrich chair, something familiar happens:

The noise fades, the pressure lifts, and they reconnect with what they want to be doing: relaxing, unwinding, and savoring the beach the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Why OSTRICH?

At OSTRICH, our purpose is simple: help people disconnect from the noise and reconnect with the moment. If we can make someone smile, relax a little deeper, or enjoy their time in the sun more fully, we’re doing what we set out to do.
