HängemattenGlück

HängemattenGlück is a Freiburg-based company specialising in hammocks, hanging chairs and accessories. The team plans and designs the models in Freiburg, while they are made by hand in Puducherry, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Where HängemattenGlück comes from

• Based in Freiburg im Breisgau, with a shop in the Zähringen district
• Managed and founded by Stefani Rottmüller and Christoph Marinkovic
• Made in India by the Ambala Hammocks workshop, which HängemattenGlück has worked with for many years
• Hannes makes the wooden bars for the hanging chairs in his workshop in Eschbach and has supplied HängemattenGlück for 17 years

How a hammock is made

• The cotton comes from a co-operative in southern India
• It is then spun, dyed and woven on a hand loom, followed by braiding and knotting the suspension and sewing
• Each hammock is hung from two hooks on site and checked for defects
• The ash for the bars comes from local forests

The models at Taiga

• Beleza: fabric hammock for two, fabric area 240 x 170 cm, load capacity 250 kg, weight 2.5 kg
• Sonjo: hanging chair for small spaces, fabric area 120 x 160 cm, bar length 110 cm, load capacity 120 kg

Hanging and care

Hammocks should hang in a gentle curve, with the suspension points at least 150 cm high. The fabrics can be machine-washed; with the Sonjo, remove the fabric from the bar first.
