The artist Alesko has been our hammock fabric creator since 2002.

 

For the hammocks from our creations, we work with a painter, sculptor, and friend from our village. Regularly (a collection lasts about 3 years), we commission him for fabric patterns, working on different themes such as: Tobago, Vanilla, Lagoon, Mojito, Salsita, Swim swing, Chococoulis, Manalinamoa…

Alesko presents us with several different choices based on a theme (here “heat”).

Choosing the model to produce:

Working on a new hammock collection is very costly and takes a lot of time. So, it is crucial not to make a mistake in choosing a model. It is imperative that all of them are successful. Our store customers help us with this. After about 300 reviews, the final choice is made.

In the factory:

Six months after the initial drawings, 18 hours of plane and 3 hours of bus later, we arrive at our friendly factory somewhere in Colombia.

Viviana, who is in charge of dyes, searches for color references to obtain the dyes. The cotton thread is dyed technologically with control of pressure and temperature.      The fabric is woven on a mechanical loom that has the particularity of weaving “hammock fabric” at 360 grams per m².
