Luxury Hammock: From Craftsmanship to Art

If you have developed a passion for the hammock or consider it as a work of art, look for your luxury hammock among models from South and Central America. In the remote lands of Brazil, Nicaragua, or Colombia, true jewels crafted by highly skilled hands are found. From cotton production, the use of colors, weaving methods to the detail of various embroideries, each country relies on its own expertise. Ancient artisanal traditions for luxurious hammocks.

The Luxury Hammock: A Recognized Art

In addition to exceptional cotton fiber, the high-end hammock is adorned with meticulous finishes. On both sides of the luxury hammock, ornaments in macramé, lace, or crochet are made exclusively by hand, sometimes using ancestral looms. In Brazil, if there is one state that has stood out for the luxury of its models, it is Paraíba. In 2019, a hammock even won an international award granted by the World Craft Council with the support of UNESCO. An award-winning work of art that honors farmers, local craftsmanship, and their families. Made of certified organic cotton colored without additives or dyes, the luxurious piece is part of sustainability.

The Luxury Hammock, An Art That Is Exhibited

In Colombian territory, it is the luxury hammocks from San Jacinto that are making a name for themselves. The beauty of manual weaving passed down from generation to generation, the vibrant colors of the cotton, and the magnificent hanging fringes. So much so that these luxury hammocks are exhibited and sold in art galleries. Among the most sought-after pieces are very complex models made by the Wayuu tribe, a semi-nomadic indigenous people highly respected in the La Guajira peninsula. Indeed, crafting a single luxury hammock can take up to 8 months of work. It is here, in this arid land among cacti, straddling Colombia and Venezuela, that the women of this ethnic group design hammocks, some of which are sold at a high price.

Luxury Hammock and Controlled Designation

Unfortunately, there is no controlled designation of origin for hammocks, and even less so for luxury hammocks. Labels such as "Colombian hammock" or "Brazilian hammock" are not regulated. Not only are hammocks copied, but some large distributors source from Asia at prices they could not find elsewhere. The marketing of these luxury products, supposed to be wonders of authenticity, does not escape competition.
