Dianomo Hammock
Dianomo is a unique hammock designed by:
Phebos Xenakis
Robbe Van der Verren Lander Vanlierde
Mathias Bruyneel
The structure is mainly composed of multiple wooden segments.
This hammock was created with the purpose to bring a more unusual furniture piece in people their homes. Hammocks are seen as a furniture object that has to be used outside, we wanted to change this stereotype and come up with a design that stands out in your interior. Not making it out of a conventional material was therefore in our interest. The wood used for dianomo is called thermo-ash, this wood is treated with steam and therefore creates amazing new properties being it can withstand fungi, water and being able to burn 30% slower.
