ART, TRADITION AND TECHNOLOGY
- Unique weaving technique - For 30 years, the weaving
technique has been optimized and decorated with new color effects. The
training of the weavers takes several years, but then the energy and love
of craftsmanship flows into every hammock.
- Comfort due to acrylic yarn - High-quality special yarn in acrylic in over
100 color variations. This very unique acrylic yarn is a great material
choice for hammocks. Acrylic yarn combines the advantages of
synthetic (durable and easy-care) and cotton (pleasant and comfortable).
- Chiang Rai in the north of Thailand - a place
where you can still feel the happy hippie feeling. Chiang Rai is also the
home of the Hammock Art family, providing a steady income for many
people in the poor mountainous areas of the country.
- Cozy size - The hammock beds are 2.25 * 2m. Two people can cuddle in
very comfortably, and when alone you will sink with pleasure into the
depths of the soft waving fabric.
- Unique Designs - HILL-TRIBE Hammock Art provides a steady
stream of high-contrast, complementary, minimalist, asymmetrical
designs, or simply put, damned beautiful hammocks that make every
garden truly stylish and functional.
HANDMADE MASTERPIECES WITH COMPLEX WEB TECHNOLOGY BORN IN THE NORTH OF
THAILAND.
The HILL-TRIBE Art hammocks are made by hand in the north of Thailand. they offer people from remote villages the
opportunity of a fair, steady income.
The continual deforestation of the forest, the lack of education, the remote location and discrimination by the rest of the
population have made it almost impossible for many tribes in the region to find a way out of poverty.
In 1996, Swiss textile engineer Peter Schmidt discovered the craftsmanship of the Hill Tribes and started
weaving hammocks with them. Its textile experience and the traditional craftsmanship of the local people made the
first net hammocks in Thailand.
Twenty-one years later, Hammock Art has created a hammock collection that is hard to beat in terms of design, comfort
and quality. Originally intended as an alternative income, the project is now a steady employer for many men and women in the
Lanna, Lahu, Karen, Khmu and Hmong tribes.
The production takes place in the home villages and is paid fairly. Each worker sets his own pace.
