Catch The “Wave”…Hammock

Every now and then it’s interesting to see what ideas designers have when they’re taking fresh looks at everyday things…like hammocks. This is a concept called the Wave Hammock, and it was created by Swedish designers Erik Nyberg and Gustav Ström for Belgian outdoor furniture manufacturer Royal Botania. With its sweeping arc of a canopy, it looks like a modern sculpture.
According to the designers, the Wave should “convey the feeling of lying underneath the canopy of a tree, surrounded by a defined, natural space, forming both a sculpture and an inviting and luxurious outdoor furniture.” The canopy fabric is perforated and semi-transparent, yet is said to block 86% of the sun’s rays. Frame is polished stainless steel. An interesting design! I cannot find a price for the Wave Hammock, so take your best guess….

The Hammock as High-End Concept Furniture?

Inspired by nature, designers Pinar Yar & Tugrul Govsa have developed the LEAF hammock, which has a plastic frame with a woven inset. The LEAF is designed to be more stable (read: no more falling out) and supportive in use. It appears to be large enough to support two people. In the designers’ words, “The idea of hammock is transformed from a regular rope hammock to an actual outdoor & indoor furniture piece.” It is sleek-looking. It may even be comfortable (did I say that?). I just can’t quite reconcile the space-age look with my (outdated?) concept of hammock. No clue as to the price.
