Hammock

A “hammock” is a suspended fabric or netting sling, typically hung between two points, designed for reclining, resting, or gentle swaying. Traditionally associated with tropical climates and leisurely escapes, the hammock has evolved into a stylish and versatile addition to modern gardens, balconies, and interiors — offering a serene space to unwind in comfort and style.
