Preserving Traditions

The serene blues of the Mexican Caribbean are repeated in a hand-woven hammock. 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.

Kick back and relax for a very sweet nap in this gorgeous hammock. It is easily packed for travel to the beach or lake. It can be used in the bedroom, living room, patio, and backyard, and can be taken to picnics and camping too.

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.
