Long Fringed Carnauba Hammock

Heritage and Construction

Handcrafted in Piauí, northeastern Brazil, the Long Fringed Carnaúba Hammock is an expression of a regional palm-fiber weaving tradition deeply rooted in Indigenous knowledge. The use of carnaúba fibers and traditional weaving techniques holds documented historical connections to the Tabajara and Tremembé peoples of the region.

Today, this material heritage continues through the work of local artisan communities, whose craftsmanship carries forward generations of ancestral knowledge while developing its own contemporary expressions.

Each hammock is constructed from raw carnaúba palm fiber, prepared and handwoven to form a strong, flexible body. Detailed with elaborate hand-tied side fringe, the piece balances structural durability, tactile organic texture, and flowing drape.

Use and Form

The hammock’s natural, breathable weave allows air to pass through freely, making it suited for quiet indoor spaces or covered outdoor sanctuaries. Subtle variations in natural fiber shade, texture, and fringe length are inherent to the handmade process, ensuring each hammock carries its own unique sculptural character.
