Hammock by Mehinako

Heritage and Construction

Handcrafted in the Upper Xingu region of the Brazilian Amazon, the Hammock by Mehinako is an expression of ancestral weaving heritage. Crafted by Mehinako women artisans on traditional vertical looms, each piece is constructed from hand-twisted threads of raw Buriti palm fiber (Mauritia flexuosa) and detailed with natural white cotton. The fibers are hand-rolled and woven seamlessly without joints, balancing structural strength with traditional art.

Use and Form

Naturally cool to the touch and exceptionally durable, the open palm-fiber weave allows air to pass freely, making it suited for serene indoor lounging or covered outdoor sanctuaries. Organic variations in fiber tone, weave density, and drape are inherent to the handmade process, ensuring each piece carries the unique hand of its maker.
