If you are in the “need” for some key Glamping pieces, look no further than San Francisco-based Alite Designs.

Alite is known for their infamous “Monarch Chair“, a lightweight and compact portable chair that is actually super comfy to sit in. So convenient that REI and other major sporting manufactures have made their own versions. While essential for backpacking trips, these chairs are also great space-savers giving you more room to pack decor, wine, and other Glamping essentials.

Alite also has an extensive collection of functional yet fashionable backpacks and travel bags. Fun extras (AKA things you didn’t know you needed but now need) include iPhone tripods, paper bag wine coolers and picnic kits.

Another bonus is the fun yet informative packaging that rounds out the Alite brand. Imagine trying to figure out how to set up the Monarch chair with Ikea-style instructions?! Luckily, Alite has you covered with easy-to-follow picture instructions.

You can buy Alite products at http://shop.alitedesigns.com or at their Brick & Mortar store in The Mission.
