JUST HANGING OUT: 10 SUSPENDED SEATS FOR SUMMER
Kick back, relax and have a seat. It's almost summer!
Summer is almost here, and it’s becoming impossible to move without breaking a sweat. ‘Tis the season to slow down and relax, and for that, there is always the ever practical, always reliable hammock. But what if we went above and beyond the hammock? What if? Let’s check out 10 suspended seats with an unusual twist.
Tropicalia by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso
Colorful and bold, Moroso’s Tropicalia Cocoon by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has an island vibe that will get you in the mood for summer. Plastic strips are woven on the steel frame to create geometric forms and wild patterns that will cradle you under the trees.

Trinity Infinity Hammock
Three hammocks for three times the relaxation? Perhaps. Or perhaps it simply turns the hammock from a solitary institution into a social occasion. The steel-framed Infinity Hammock from Trinity lets you bring your friends! Well, at least two of them.
Objets Nomades Hammock by Atelier Oï for Louis Vuitton
Inspired by the notion of portability, this leather hammock from Atelier Oï is the ultimate luxury hammock. Made from whole strips of leather lined with Alcantara and gold-gilded rivets, the Objets Nomades Hammock still resists chlorine and salt water, so you’re safe to set it up wherever your nomadic lifestyle may take you.
Seóra Classic Lounger
The Classic Lounger from Seóra adds a touch of glamour to the traditional hammock. Made from flexible plywood beams wood, the design is inspired by Miami and incorporates the American recliner with the Caribbean hammock. It also has an array of accompanying accessories.
Swingrest by Daniel Pouzet for Dedon
Swingrest is the evolution of fabulous Dedon’s Nestrest, both of which were designed by Daniel Pouzet. Taking things into open air, the Swingrest can be suspended indoors, outdoors or wherever you feel the need to swing. It also comes with a rotating tabletop to hold your favorite cocktail.
Wooden Hammock by Georg Bechter
Austrian architect Georg Bechter designed a wood hammock that rocks – literally. Though we’re not entirely convinced that we wouldn’t rock ourselves right onto the ground, that is already the undeniable risk of the hammock. Plus, it looks like fun.
Kokoon Hammock by Royal Botania
Okay, it’s time to get serious. Royal Botania’s Kokoon Hammock might be the ultimate in relaxation since it’s basically a bed for the outdoors. Just be careful, once you get yourself cuddled up under the Batyline canopy, you may never want to get out.
MANU Nest Hanging Chair by MAFFAM FREEFORM
Can’t go to Hawaii? Bring Hawaii to you! Well ,not really, but this delicate, lacy chair is made from volcanic rock. MAFFAM FREEFORM makes their MANU Hanging Chair from basalt rock that forms in the wake of slow-flowing basaltic lava.
Amanda Hammock by Unopiù
More traditional than wild? Unopiù has what you need. The Amanda Hammock is the very same hammock used by Toni Servillo’s character in La Grande Bellezza! It’s the original free-standing hammock, so wrap yourself in its cotton net and enjoy the good life.
Black Diamond Hanging Tent
From traditional to extreme, Black Diamond’s Hanging Tent is only for the adventurous. Although technically not a seat, it’s way too cool to leave out. And if you’re brave enough to step inside, we’re guessing that you probably won’t regret it. What is summer for if not for adventure?
