# Handcrafted Massage Hammocks The 'Swingy' Collection Offers Plush Quilt-Like Swinging Seats By Christopher Magsambol | Published 2015-11-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swingy References: [wallpaper](http://www.wallpaper.com/design/swingy-the-meditation-seat-linda-vrnakova-liv-design) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/DesignerLIV/photos/pb.725518097480909.-2207520000.1447084600./1061533027212746/?type=3&theater) The 'Swingy' seat collection by Czech designer Linda Vrnakova of LIV Design elevates the hammock to a more luxurious level. The cozy swinging seat began as a school project for Vrnakoca, but has evolved into her own line of chairs. Each Swingy is hung by a system of [thick cotton ropes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entwined-objects) and beech wood beams. The seat's striking appearance is made from high-quality fabric and filled with certified massage balls. By incorporating these massage balls, the Swingy's distinct shape is created and provides immense comfort for those using it. The [swinging seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birddy) are handmade and utilize leather detailing made from waste materials from Czech leather shops. The innovative play on the traditional hammock comes in both indoor and outdoor versions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Luxury Hammocks:** Opportunity for companies to create high-end hammocks with unique features, such as massage balls and recycled materials. - **Indoor-outdoor Furniture:** Growing trend of furniture that can be used both indoors and outdoors, opening up new markets and possibilities for designers and manufacturers. - **Handcrafted Home Decor:** The rising popularity of handcrafted home decor offers opportunities for designers and craftsmen to create unique and personalized furniture pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Companies in the furniture industry can explore new markets and possibilities by creating innovative and versatile hammocks like the Swingy Collection. - **Textile:** The textile industry can capitalize on the trend of luxurious and comfortable fabric hammocks, such as the Swingy Collection, by incorporating unique features and materials. - **Crafts:** The handcrafted home decor trend presents opportunities for craftsmen and designers to create unique and personalized furniture pieces like the Swingy Collection using sustainable and recycled materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Outdoor Swings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-swing.md) - [Curvaceous Outdoor Swings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niu-swing.md) - [Playground-Inspired Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swing-seat.md) - [Peaceful Geometric Hanging Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iko-hanging-chair.md) - [Elegant Exterior Lounge Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lounge-bed.md) - [Featherlight Hammock Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-hammock.md) - [Versatile Handcrafted Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-hammock.md) - [Hammock-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palmera.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md)
