Seóra Hammock

Seóra Hammock is an innovative furniture design that represents a sophisticated fusion between traditional hammock functionality and contemporary armchair comfort, crafted from high-quality Birch marine plywood and stainless steel. This distinctive piece, designed by Anthony Logothetis from Greece, emerged from the cultural intersection of Cuban and American furniture traditions in Miami, combining the relaxed essence of a hammock with the structured comfort of an American armchair. The design's exceptional ergonomic properties allow it to naturally conform to the user's body shape, promoting correct posture and eliminating the common slouching issue associated with conventional fabric hammocks. Its sophisticated engineering includes a distinctive stainless steel stand that can be disassembled into three components for convenient storage, while integrated armrests can be deployed as needed, and an adjustable footrest accommodates users of varying heights. The hammock's dimensions of 3100mm in length, 1000mm in width, and 1100mm in height create an imposing yet elegant presence. The design's excellence was recognized with a Golden A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2012, acknowledging its innovative approach to material use, ergonomic comfort, and aesthetic appeal. This prestigious recognition highlighted the design's unique contribution to contemporary furniture design, particularly its ability to seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic refinement while addressing practical concerns such as storage and adaptability. The Seóra Hammock represents a significant advancement in leisure furniture design, offering a sophisticated solution that bridges cultural design traditions while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and user comfort.
