The Albeira Swing is a hand-woven hanging swing seat in natural fique fibre, made as a limited, numbered edition by Colombian artisan Albeiro Camargo. Woven entirely without knots, it cradles the body without the need for any padding — a sitting swing born from the traditional Albeira hammock.

Each piece is created by hand within a small community in Santander, Colombia, using the age-old Guane weaving technique. Refined yet remarkably hard-wearing, it brings the gentle, grounding rhythm of rocking into the home or garden.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Albeira Swing the same as the Albeira Hammock?
No. The Swing is a hanging seat you sit upright in, woven from the same fique fibre as the Albeira Hammock, which you lie in. Both are made by the same artisan.

What is fique?
Fique (Furcraea andina) is a natural, drought-hardy plant fibre native to Colombia. Its leaves are processed into yarn and hand-woven into each piece.

Can it be used outdoors?
Yes — it is hard-wearing and suited to indoor and sheltered outdoor spaces. Protect it from prolonged damp and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
