SISALANA hAMMOCK (TZALAM)

This sculptural hammock was originally designed for the movie “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” It is a homage to the origins of an important endemic agave in Yucatan, sisalana, which was thought to be lost. Sisalana was predominately used by the Maya civilization. This agave was discovered on the property of Angela Damman. It is now being cultivated for its beautiful fibers. The terracotta colored tone comes from a natural dye, a resin extracted from the tree bark of the native tropical hardwood tree, called tzalam.
