Hammock XXL "Ibagué" : A 2-seater hammock

Our "Ibagué" XXL Hammock is a single-color hammock. Its blue color is a symbol of escape, travel and dreams for soothing, calm naps. It can also add character to a cocooning interior dominated by white tones. It will bring a warm, cosy atmosphere to your space. In a region where the majority of inhabitants are believers, either by heritage or the influence of the Spanish and Portuguese, blue is often associated with Catholicism because of the Virgin Mary's dress and the color of her veil. In Mexico, this hue is also symbolic of confidence and serenity. In Colombia, however, blue is more associated with the color of soap.

The origins of the hammock

After Christopher Columbus arrived in America, he noticed that many of the natives used hammocks in their daily lives. When he returned to Europe, he imported many of them, popularizing them in the Old World.

In fact, the first to adopt them (in numbers) were British and Spanish sailors, who used them to sleep aboard ship. Hammocks were appreciated for their coolness and comfort, but what made them truly unique was their ability to sway gently to the rhythm of the ship's movements, preventing falls.
