The moriche chinchorro is a traditional 100% natural hammock, made from plant fiber derived from the moriche palm. This 100% handcrafted hammock is entirely woven by hand by the Warao indigenous communities.

The Waraos are an ancestral Amerindian people, consisting of about 30,000 individuals, living mainly in the coastal areas and the Orinoco delta, between Venezuela and Guyana. Deeply connected to their natural environment, they have passed down for generations traditional artisanal skills, notably the work with plant fibers, which are an integral part of their culture and way of life.

Each moriche plant fiber hammock requires long and meticulous work. The extraction of the fiber, manual spinning, and then weaving can take from two weeks to a month for a single piece.

This artisanal production prevents any industrial manufacturing, making each moriche chinchorro naturally rare and precious.

Yes. This natural hammock is made exclusively from moriche plant fiber.

It contains no nylon, cotton, polyester, or any synthetic fibers. It is a completely ecological, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly hammock.

Unlike industrial or semi-industrial hammocks, often made of cotton or synthetic fibers, the moriche chinchorro is one of the rare hammocks made like the first hammocks, that is to say with plant fiber, a hammock that will be

• naturally breathable (net hammock)

• naturally resistant to sun and humidity

• perfectly suited for hot and tropical climates

Its open weave conforms to the body and offers a unique comfort, very different from standard hammocks.

No. Each handcrafted hammock made from plant fiber is a unique piece. The natural variations of the fiber and the artisan's touch mean that each chinchorro has its own nuances, texture, and character.

Traditional moriche fiber hammocks are made in the Orinoco Delta, Venezuela, one of the largest rivers in South America. This region, composed of hundreds of channels and vast wetlands, is home to the Warao, an indigenous people who have been present for centuries.

Deeply connected to their environment, the Warao use the moriche palm to make their hammocks, entirely handwoven, according to a know-how passed down from generation to generation. Each hammock is thus a reflection of a unique territory, a mythical river, and a living artisanal tradition.

The moriche chinchorro is aimed at people looking for:

• a natural and ecological hammock

• an authentic and handcrafted product

• a breathable hammock for hot climates

• a sustainable alternative to industrial hammocks

But also to high-end decoration shops, artists, aspiring decorators, and all those who love beautiful, original, and characterful pieces.

A hammock made from plant fiber is made from natural fibers derived from trees or plants. In some Latin American countries, these hammocks are still crafted using ancestral know-how, passed down from generation to generation. This is especially true for agave fiber hammocks, whose production dates back more than 1,000 years and uses the techniques employed for the very first hammocks.

This chinchorro is rare because its production is long and entirely manual. The extraction of the fiber, spinning, and weaving require several weeks of work for a single piece, which prevents any industrial production. This authentic artisanal know-how is maintained only by communities that have been perpetuating this tradition for generations, notably in Venezuela.

This chinchorro is all the more rare because in 2026, the situation in Venezuela remains deeply unstable economically, politically, and socially. The prolonged crisis, exacerbated by recent geopolitical tensions, makes the import of artisanal products like these hammocks particularly complex and uncertain. Behind every piece available today lies not only a real logistical challenge but also the will to preserve an ancestral know-how in the face of a difficult and changing local context.

Yes. This hammock is made exclusively from natural plant fibers, those of the moriche palm (called the tree of life), with no addition of synthetic fibers. A 100% ecological hammock!

Unlike mass-produced industrial hammocks, this hammock is handwoven. It is very breathable and suitable for hot climates. It also allows for better ventilation and a cool comfort that lets air pass through its mesh.

No. Each piece is unique: the fibers and the artisan's gestures make each of these hammocks slightly different, with its own weaving nuances. This is part of the value of a handmade hammock.

These hammocks come from the Orinoco Delta in Venezuela, where they are made by craftswomen from indigenous communities (the Warao). These women have long preserved the ancestral knowledge of working with plant fibers, using moriche palm fiber to create traditional hammocks.
