This hand made cotton hammock from Novica uses the traditions of the ancient Mayan people to create a hammock of exceptional comfort and beauty. Hammocks were a way of life to the Mayans who used them as their prinicple sleeping quarters, and Novica have continued with the art, developing some of the world's most comfortable and comforting hammocks and hammock chairs.
The subtle tonal variations of natural cotton bring beauty to this hand-woven Yucatecan hammock. Its weave molds to the contours of the body for unparalleled comfort. The Maya considered the sensation to be similar to the "loving embrace of a mother." Perfect for relaxing both indoors and out, its hanging arms are nylon for added strength, and the hammock includes ropes, hooks and a step-by-step manual for easy installation and care. Because each hammock is woven individually by hand, measurements may vary as much as 10 cm, and colors may vary slightly.
Artisan Info:
Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.
