backyard decor

The somber grey hue of this hammock is designed to foster a relaxed mood. Woven by hand, this cotton hammock comes from Maya Artists of the Yucatán who create it in the same way they have for centuries.

Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.

Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in color from those shown in the images.

Indian artist Geetha paints this striking surrealist composition to add a sophisticated touch to your home decor. This painting explores the intersection of childhood nostalgia and urbanization. She says "As a child, I grew up in the south where there used to be abundance of natural beauty, unlike the now high-tech and modern city that it has become. I have seen in my own backyard, we would grow vegetables for our kitchens--it was so much fun. In this painting I am recalling the olden days where we were so close to nature."
