My name is Josiane. I was born in Mexico City, my father was French and my mother is Mexican from Yucatán. I grew up influenced and enriched by both cultures. Handmade hammocks have been an important part of my life as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I spent all of my holidays in Progreso Yucatán with my aunt. We all slept in a big room with up to 6 hammocks hanging parallel next to each other. They played an important role in our life, we rested and slept there after hours at the beach and had a lot of fun. I can still remember the feeling of freedom and happiness when swinging as we played there. I have lived in Germany for 20 years now and have always owned a Mexican hammock. It is part of my home, a reminder of my tradition and culture. This is the reason why MI PATIO was born. We would like to keep this cultural heritage alive and in addition we would like to support the Mayan community of artisans in order to improve their future opportunities. Our hammocks are handmade and unique reflecting the human warmth of the Maya and thus resulting in tradition, quality and comfort. Combined with modern fabrics and designs, our hammocks give you this particular feeling. Once you lie down in one of our hammocks, you will understand why I have developed this love. 

My name is Monika. I love hammocks since I lived in South America for a while. There I got in contact with hammocks and the attitude towards life they reflect. Now I use them with passion. It is a wonderful feeling to lie in a hammock with a good book and to feel the warm summer breeze. My friend Josiane convinced me of the Mexican net hammocks. Each of them is a unique piece of art woven by the Maya. We would like to support them by selling their handcraft in our shop. We hope that generations to come will have future opportunities with their craft and that we can preserve their heritage for the world. Our woven net hammocks from MI PATIO are an excellent alternative to fabric hammocks. They cling to your body better, are pleasantly cool in summer and cosy in winter. Whether you take a siesta, rock your baby or make a surprise guest bed, our hammocks are suitable for all circumstances and ages.
