XXL "Barranquilla" Hammock: A Unique Work of Craftsmanship from San Jacinto

Welcome to the captivating world of our XXL "Barranquilla" hammock. According to the energy of the colors, this hammock combats mental fatigue and melancholy. It is designed to soothe our inner conflicts and can help promote more effective management of our emotions. It encourages communication, especially (as is the case here) when the yellow tints orange. Every fiber of this exceptional handmade hammock is lovingly hand-woven in the picturesque town of San Jacinto. One of Colombia's towns renowned for its finest hammock artisans.

Fine detail: bangs and pre-Columbian motifs

The bangs, delicately crafted from crochet fabric, feature motifs directly inspired by pre-Columbian civilization. On the body of the hammock, ethnic motifs are meticulously woven, offering artistic personalization by the skilled hands of our craftsmen. Another important detail is your choice of fasteners, decorative Colombian ropes or steel fastening kit.

The hammock today for indigenous people

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

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

At Hamac del Sol, we are proud to support artisans and their families, preserving the ancestral traditions of weaving in Colombia.

Benefits of an XXL hammock: comfort and health

With an imposing width of 1.80 m, our XXL hammock offers a unique relaxation experience. Lie comfortably on the diagonal, rocked by soothing movements. The rocking motion promotes relaxation, improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure and relieves lower back pain.

A recent study investigated the relationship between rocking and sleep. It showed that during a 45-minute nap in a slow-swinging hammock (0.25 Hz), the transition between wakefulness and sleep was shorter. Interestingly, the quality of sleep is also improved.
