WILD FIBERS Hammock

Special commission by Joali Maldives Luxury Resort & Tatiana Gecmen Waldeck. The piece is part of the permanent collection of Joali. Launched of the piece during ImagiNature Art festival Maldives (Avril 2023)

Wild Fibers Joali Hammock is a unique collectible art design piece in the lines of Aurelie Hoegy Wild Fibers series, one of which the «Wild Fibers Duchess » is part of the Centre Pompidou Design Permanent Collection Paris.

Just like undulating waves, Joali Hammock elegant and cosy sculptural seating is meticulously crafted with rattan core, one of the world longest natural fiber.
Aurelie Hoegy steam, wet, burn, nail and tame this tropical wild liana coming from Indonesian jungle. She let herself guided by the native curves of the fiber itself to finally fold it as a textile drapery, becoming an architecture of the body in movement. This elegant choreography of rattan fibers forms a graceful aerial ocean wave. Fusing Nature and Matter, the designer is inspired by Joali island natural curves, colours and sumptuous white sand shapes formed by the infinite movement of the Indian Ocean. Not only Aurelie Hoegy let herself specifically inspired by Joali island natural environment but also by the meaning itself of a « joali ». In Maldivian a Joali is….. a furniture cross between a deck chair and a hammock.

Aurelie Hoegy’s work reflects an environmentally responsible approach that respect the rattan’s natural life cycle. Hoegy collections breathe new life into the fibers and soulful contemporary vision to this craft heritage, aiming to keep traditions alive, valuing and honoring them by creating new ones.
