Hamaka

hamaka is an innovative company, founded by Lucas Schmidt and Max Wohlleber in April 2014. The idea for founding hamaka arose during a joint trip, where the two founders discussed the disadvantages of their then-current hammocks and decided to develop a super lightweight and high-quality travel hammock[1][3].

hamaka offers a variety of high-quality hammocks and related accessories. The main products include:

• hamaka hyperlight: Perhaps the lightest hammock in the world, weighing only 320 grams and delivered with a suspension system. This hammock is specifically designed for travel and is characterized by its small pack size and easy handling[2][3].
• hamaka ultralight: A slightly heavier variant of the hyperlight, made from recycled ripstop nylon and produced more affordably in Asia[1].
• hamaka woven: A luxurious net hammock, fairly and handcrafted in Thai mountain villages, ideal for home or garden use[1].
• Accessories: This includes suspension systems like the Black Mamba Suspension, carabiners, shackles, hammock pillows, and ultralight ripstop shoppers[1][2].

The mission of hamaka is to economically produce sustainable, high-quality products. The founders believe that sustainability and high product quality are not opposites. Fair treatment of all business partners, transparent value chains, and adherence to social standards are central values of the company. hamaka strives for long-term and trusting production partnerships, especially with small and medium-sized European family businesses[2][3][4].

hamaka is actively committed to sustainability and environmental protection:

• CO2-neutral shipping: All packages are shipped CO2-neutral via DHL GoGreen[2][4].
• Plastic avoidance: Products are packaged exclusively in or with paper, with recycled paper preferred[2][4].
• Upcycling and reuse: Returns are upcycled or sold on the second-hand market. Additionally, broken hammocks are recycled and transformed into new products like tote bags[3][4].
• Tree planting: For every hammock sold, hamaka donates money to the organization One Tree Planted to plant trees worldwide[4].

hamaka is committed to keeping the ecological footprint from the production to the delivery of the hammocks as low as possible and relies on innovative and environmentally friendly solutions. Through these measures, the company aims to ensure that future generations can live in a healthy environment.
