The Canapéledge adventure

How about suspending the office sofa from a cliff?

Imagine the scene: a sofa floating in mid-air, suspended from a steep cliff. It's an idea as far-fetched as it is ingenious, and it was born in the minds of our three founders at Captain Wild. During a lively evening, lulled by a few craft beers, they settled comfortably into their brand-new sofa when inspiration struck... Enjoying a good beer in our offices is cool... but this is Captain Wild, baby.

Our beer tastes better at the top!

Time goes by, and our lousy kids are stewing over this seemingly unreasonable project. But why deprive ourselves of realizing our wildest dreams? After all, if Red Bull was able to send Felix Baumgartner into space, we're quite capable of suspending a sofa over a cliff!

At Captain Wild, we never shy away from a challenge. Determined to see this idea through to the end, our three creative minds went for it. March 1st will forever be remembered as the date when it all began. But before we hang this sofa straight out of the Captain Wild universe, we survey the terrain. Safety first 🙂

Behind the scenes 

So it's time to introduce the real star of this project: our sofa. Our fine team knows a thing or two about climbing: we rope it, we secure it, we launch it.

 

The first stage was completed. Our magnificent sofa with its Charentais motif floated in the air, ready to welcome our three musketeers. Equipped like aircraft carriers, they were ready for this dizzying experience.

We rappel down to the sofa. WE'RE THERE.

How's it going?

For almost two hours, our adventurers made themselves "comfortable". Between thrills and chills, the general euphoria prevailed. Our band of pals savor the incredible view while holding a beer firmly in hand.

It's in the box!

As you can imagine, we had to immortalize this perched moment... And in the outdoor sports family, it was Antoine Mesnage who was seduced by this completely crazy project. So we called on his creativity and artistic eye to sublimate this moment in the Captain Wild DNA.

Known and recognized for his achievements, Antoine created the Esprit Outdoor visual production agency.

A passionate videographer and photographer, Antoine drew his drone to capture this unprecedented adventure. And we're not going to lie, the rendering is absolutely AMAZING.

What's next?

AH! This sofa is back in our offices, but you're not safe from seeing it flying over your head or being towed across Lake Annecy. Stay tuned 😉
