LA SIESTA

Improving Lives… One Hammock At a Time For over 25 years, LA SIESTA has been the premier global hammock manufacturer, specializing in the development, marketing and distribution of hammocks and hammock chairs. Founded in 1991 as a humble, family business operating out of a garage in Germany, LA SIESTA is now the worldwide leader in hammocks, offerring the widest, most diverse line of hammocks on the market and operating in over 50 countries, with offices in Germany and Miami. For us, hammocks are more than just a product or a place to lay—they're a way of life. We truly believe that laying in a hammock even for just a few minutes a day significantly improves your quality of life. In today's fast-paced, digitally-connected, always-on world, you can never have too many excuses to steal a moment of peace. At LA SIESTA, we also see hammocks for what they truly are and have always been: a South American national treasure, a cultural tradition that should not only be preserved but spread. This is why all of our hammocks are manufactured in the country from which that hammock style originated. We are thankful every day to have the opportunity to further develop these cultural assets with local manufacturers and promote the hammock as a place of relaxation and general well-being. LA SIESTA never intentionally set out to be sustainable and responsible, it's just who we are, and who we've always been. When the founders instilled those values into the brand's DNA back in '91, "sustainability" and "social responsibility" were not in vogue or buzzwords. They were simply part of a philosophy that our founders held dear, a tradition that we proudly carry on today. We believe in living it instead of talking about it. Fairness, transparency, and respect are part of our identity and our daily relationship with customers and employees alike.
