Though not exactly a hammock, this quasi-hammock, the “Curt deck chair,” from Swiss design studio Bernhard Burkard entirely solves the hammock-mobility problem without requiring any trees, chains, or learning how to use (and pronounce the word) “carabiners.”

Happy Labor Day everyone!  TinyUrbanKitchen went on a Henry David Thoreau-inspired outing to Walden Pond. We give them an A+ for color and for having recipes included. Before it gets too cold, grab your Deck Towel and a basket, pack an elegant picnic and reacquaint yourselves with the umbers and ochres of nature’s autumn color palette.
