Triple the Relaxation in Sculptural Trinity Hammock

Few items of furniture embody relaxation as well as the hammock, especially when these suspended loungers are perched in a tranquil location like the beach or a wooded backyard. Two creations by Trinity Hammocks ensure that nobody has to fight over this prized napping spot: triple hammocks, in both modern and traditional designs.

The three-sided Infinity hammock looks like a work of art, with three large circles made of tubular steel leaning against each other to support a trio of soft hammocks. A teak table suspended from the center offers a surface for drinks and books.

The Eternity Hammock comes in a more conventional gazebo-like shape, with wrought iron scrolls. It also has a central table, but adds a canopy to keep loungers out of the rain. The hammocks themselves are available in handwoven acrylic yarn, or quilted fabric.

The base of each hammock structure measures just about three meters in diameter, so it’s compact enough to fit in many backyards and other outdoor spaces.

    


Negative Space Sculpture Becomes Personal Art When Messy

Think about what happens during the first few minutes you walk into your home from work, school, or going out on the town. If you’re like most people, one of your first steps is to throw your coat, scarf, purse or whatever else you’re carrying onto a nearby chair. We know that this is what you do because Arash Eskafi, a student at Sweden's Konstfack, conducted workshops and research to figure out how people use their home space.

Eskafi’s assignment: to change the way we look at and think about negative space. He remembered a Swedish saying that is often used to describe a messy person: “You leave behind a mountain of clothes.” He turned this saying literal by creating a stainless steel welded sculpture that is visually all negative space, but becomes interesting (and personalized) once it is used.

The Berg (which is the Swedish word for “mountain”) is the stylish alternative to throwing your coats and clothes on a chair or the floor. Some of us might actually use closets and clothes hampers, but for those of us who prefer to casually drape our things on whatever piece of furniture is nearby, the Berg is a sculpture that turns your dirty laundry into personalized art.
