The Petiole Hammock.

Recipient of Les Découvertes award for innovation and creativity at the prestigious Maison & Objet design show in Paris, this self-suspended hammock is the culmination of 20 years of research and design. Handmade in Sweden by just two artisans who painstakingly mold each piece during a process that requires four weeks to craft just one, the entire hammock is supported by a 9 1/2' electropolished 304 stainless steel pole that is curved to form a half circle, enabling both ends of the bed to be hung from the pole. The sheer canopy blocks up to 86% of UV rays yet allows you to gaze at the sky, creating the relaxing sensation of swaying gently under the canopy of a tree. The heavy-duty steel and precisely balanced design provide enough strength to hold 1/4 ton. Measuring 12' long by 8 1/4' wide, the hammock easily accommodates two people. Mounts in concrete. 145 2/3" L x 114" H x 98 1/2" W. (770 lbs.)
