The Maraca Hammock is a colourful design, adding a pop of colour wherever you install it. It’s the perfect place to relax in the garden, on the terrace or in a cozy corner in the house Historically, this type of hammock is only made by the artesanas in Bolívar, the local women who are masters in traditional crafts. Many of the women in the region's villages have their own weaving loom. Prior to the weaving, the cotton yarns are dyed by hand with natural pigments. Salts and Almidon generate starch to bind the bright colours. Just the preparation of all the materials takes three days, while the production of each hammock takes seven days German designer Sebastian Herkner is a long-term collaborator of ames and has visited Colombia multiple times to experience the country’s cities, nature and people first hand. He also visited many of the ateliers that ames has partnered with to learn about the unique traditional crafts of Colombia's regions. A sought-after contemporary designer and recipient of many industry awards, he has worked with many international design brands, creating intriguing pieces that showcase his intuition for interesting material, colour and texture combinations
