This award-winning Wooden Hammock by Australian designer Adam Cornish
makes us want to grab a good book and find a nice, shady spot in the
garden to string it up! Manufactured from a single piece of plantation-grown plywood,
this piece has been designed with the unique range of motion of the
human spine in mind. A long row of slender, curved timber segments
flexes and move to cradle the user’s body, creating a comfortable
cocoon-like bed.
The Wooden Hammock won the Workshopped ‘s Peoples Choice Award in Sydney last year, and earlier this month it caught the attention of the Herman Miller Asia Pacific –Yves Behar Design Competition, finishing first to score an incredible one-on-one mentoring session with prominent industrial designer Yves Behar.
Herman Miller spokesperson Samantha Giam says the Wooden Hammock
caught their eye, as “Bringing relaxation to life is a thought most of
us can resonate with and the notion of maximizing the economy of
materials while minimizing the environmental footprint is something
close to the ethos of Herman Miller and our latest product SAYL by Yves Behar”. If you are lucky enough to be in Italy this April, you can go see Adam Cornish’s latest design collection at the Milan Salone Satellite Exhibition in collaboration with the Milan International Furniture Fair.
