Hammock, 'Blue Caribbean' Overview
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. The serene blues of the Mexican Caribbean are repeated in a king-size hammock. Woven by hand, it invites a blissful afternoon with a pitcher of iced tea and a good book. Maya Artists of the Yucatan create it in the same way they have for centuries. Perfect for patio, deck or garden, it can hold up to 550 pounds. Because each hammock is individually handmade, size can 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. "Both men and women hand-weave magnificent and unique hammocks with colors and patterns created by our design department. This way we are able to fulfill our objective: to make a decorative article that will also provide a comfortable rest. Hammocks are now offered in a wide variety of colors and textures thanks to the advent of new fibers.
