History

Paul Yacht, the founder and principal of Innit started in design working in Toronto’s film industry as a set decorator. After the events of 9-11 a slowed industry gave him the push to move to Puerto Escondido, Mexico to follow a lifelong dream of learning how to surf and living easy on the beach. He opened a small bookstore / surf-shop / bar / cinema on this surf-beach and used chairs similar to these ones as the cinema seating.

The decision to use these retro looking chairs for cinema seating was obvious. They are cool, comfortable, unique and easy to keep clean. After receiving requests from people from all over the world for these chairs he decided to perfect the designs, polish them up and export them to Canada and the USA. Innit was born. The Innit designs are based on a construction technique that has been used in Mexico – probably since the 40′s and is based on the Mayan hammock weaving technique.

The legend is that this style of chair was conceived of by a French tourist on the Caribbean coast of Mexico circa 1940’s. She was lounging in a solid back chair sweating her nalgitas off in the Caribbean heat. She asked herself, why with all these Mayan hammocks around do they not make a chair with the same technique. We utilize a similar technique but with the highest quality materials and with great attention to detail blending the traditional with the innovative and conforming to high standards of quality.
