I received my first Novica order, yesterday. Its an absolutely beautiful, colorful, double Hammock, of exceptional quality; handmade by a very talented artisan from Brazil. Its bright, rainbow colors are spectacularly brilliant. The material is strong; the ropes are plentiful, strong, and beautifully strung. Im looking forward to Spring/Summer, when we can hang it up and enjoy a nap, book, games on our cell phones, or just lounge. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!! Its a fantastic product! Keep up the beautiful/great work!! I absolutely LOVE this GORGEOUS Hammock! God Bless You!! Laurene

It looks great, cheerful, and differently from each direction. In between the spots on the side you look you can see some of the colored spots from across the other side of the sphere, adding a depth effect.Its well made, very smooth, round, very clear look of a quality glass & process, and shiny / with luster. I have purchased from the Seguso Family before and Im very pleased with the items. They arrived very well packaged & protected.

As an aspiring artist I dont often purchase other peoples art,I dont usually have the budget however when I saw this print by J. Borges I made an exception. His work is dynamic and I feel very strongly in supporting artists from other parts of the world. I feel it is an investment in the artist and an investment that will give me smiles every time I see it on my studio wall. Hopefully it will also possibly appreciate in value as well,though my main reason for purchasing this was bc I really enjoy the design. I love that when I am able to save up, I can come here to Novica and find lovely things that give back to the wonderful crafts people who work so hard to earn their living. We get something wonderful knowing that the people who made these objects are engaged in fair trade. Win win : )
