The Popularity of the Hammock: A Journey That Began at the Amsterdam Flower Market
The hammock, a symbol of relaxation and comfort, has its origins in the unique culture of South America. However, its popularity outside this region is largely due to our special store at the Amsterdam Flower Market. Since opening in 1991, we have played an important role in introducing these special products to a wider audience with a strong focus on quality craftsmanship and modern designs.
Due to the very international audience at the Amsterdam Flower Market, the popularity of our hammocks quickly spread across the globe. This iconic market attracts visitors from all corners of the world, each looking for an authentic experience and unique products. We shared stories about the artisans who craft our hammocks with care and craftsmanship, and emphasized the importance of quality and sustainability. Customers discovered not only the beauty of our hammocks, but also the rich traditions behind them.
By offering a diverse range of styles and designs, we have made the hammock accessible to everyone. From colorful, handwoven pieces to modern designs that seamlessly fit into contemporary interiors, there is something for everyone. This has contributed to the growing popularity of hammocks in the Netherlands and beyond.
Our dedication to quality craftsmanship and innovation has allowed us to collaborate with top manufacturers in South America, resulting in unique products that are designed to last for years. This collaboration underscores our philosophy that craftsmanship and modern design go hand in hand.
Recently we also introduced our unique hammock and lounger stands, which combine functionality and style. Made from high-quality, durable materials, these stands offer a perfect solution for anyone who wants to enjoy the comfort of a hammock or lounger, wherever they are. Thanks to our efforts at the Amsterdam Flower Market, the hammock has become not only a product, but also a lifestyle that conveys relaxation and fun. We are proud of what we have achieved and look forward to continuing this trend, so that even more people can enjoy the comfort of a hammock. Unfortunately, we had to close our store in 2018 due to pressure from mass tourism. All our products are now for sale on our websites and we hope to open a new store in Amsterdam or the surrounding area. In the meantime, we are expanding our activities in the Caribbean and USA. The love for the hammock remains and also the will to break new ground and introduce the hammock, hanging chair and hammock lounger into the interior
