XXL Hammock “Barranquilla”: A Unique Artisanal Work of San Jacinto

Welcome to the captivating world of our XXL “Barranquilla” hammock. Depending on the energy of the colors, this hammock helps fight against mental fatigue and melancholy. It is designed to soothe our inner conflicts and can help promote more effective management of our emotions. It promotes communication especially (as is the case) when yellow tends towards orange. Every fiber of this exceptional handcrafted hammock is lovingly hand-woven in the picturesque town of San Jacinto. One of the cities in Colombia renowned for housing the best hammock artisans.

Fine detail: Fringes and pre-Columbian motifs

The fringes, delicately made from crochet fabric, feature patterns directly inspired by pre-Columbian civilization. On the body of the hammock, ethnic motifs are meticulously woven, offering artistic customization by the skillful hands of our artisans. Another important detail is to choose from our fixings, our decorative Colombian ropes or our steel fixing kit.

The hammock today for the natives

In some tribes in Venezuela and Brazil, the "custom of couvade" involves women giving birth in one hammock, with fathers receiving the same care in another hammock. This tradition strengthens family ties, lasting until the newborn's umbilical cord falls away.

The hammock also plays an important role in rites of passage, particularly during puberty. The young girls are secluded in a hammock, symbolizing their transition to adulthood. In some cases, the hammock is hung over a fire, representing purification and preparation for marriage. This time is also used to teach young women the art of weaving, including hammock making, by women in the community.

A recent study was done on the relationship between rocking and sleep. It appears that during a 45 min nap in a slowly swinging hammock (0.25 Hz) the transition between the awake and asleep state is shorter. Other interesting information is that the quality of sleep is also improved. Read our article to find out more: The effects of swinging on the body and mind.
