Maraka from ames

With the Maraca Lounge Chair, Sebastian Herkner has created a charming spot to relax, inspired by the traditional Colombian hammocks. The gentle curves of the steel frame mirror the bend of the seating fabric, whose pattern represents the pure joy of life.

The fabric of the chair is hand-woven with 100% cotton yarns. These yarns are dyed with natural dyes only and then finished by hand. To bind the bright colours, the artesanos use salt and almidon, a natural starch. Just the preparation of all the materials takes three days, while the production of each chair takes two days.

Care instructions

Wipe frame clean with a damp cloth. The chair can be used outdoors, but the removable cover should be taken off when not in use. To protect the colours, avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight over long periods. Protect it with a cover or store it indoors during winter or wet weather conditions.

The fabric can get wet but needs to dry completely before reattaching. You can machine wash the fabric on a delicate cycle. Do not use bleaching agents. Do not tumble dry. Let it dry flat and rolled out. If the fabric is creased, it can be ironed.

If the product is exposed to sea air, wipe the frame regularly with a damp cloth. Fitted cover sold separately
