Our Story

how it started

Oliver James Lilos was born from founder Oliver's childhood memories of summers in the South of France, where carefree days were spent lounging on pool floats with his family. What started as simple, joyful moments has grown into a passion for creating the perfect pool float—a blend of elegance and durability.

As a child, my parents would spend their summer days lounging on Lilos and soaking up the sun.
For us kids, we were acutely aware of our parents' fondness of their time on the Lilos.
When they were fully settled, we would sneak up behind them and cannonball them, reveling in our deviousness.

the problem

Most pool floats feel sticky, squeaky, and short-lived—hardly the essence of leisure. They lacked the comfort and elegance of the memories that inspired them.

We begin to wonder: What if a float could feel like furniture?

Our first Lilo
launched in 2017.

By upholstering a durable inflatable core with outdoor performance fabric, we created something new—refined, resilient, and quietly luxurious. Each Lilo is meticulously crafted to withstand the elements while offering lasting comfort and beauty.

Our goal wasn’t just to make better floats, but to share that feeling of a carefree summer days—bringing comfort, connection, and joy to the water.
