Lazy Daze begins with William Jones in 1996

In 1996, after backpacking through South America, William was captivated by the serene comfort of hammocks used by indigenous villagers. Upon returning home, he delved into hammock craftsmanship, aiming to share this delightful experience with others.

The first products were rope hammocks, as depicted in this sketch.

The first products

The first products were rope hammocks, crafted by intertwining sturdy ropes meticulously to form a supportive net-like structure. William took a team with skilled artisans to skillfully weave and knot the ropes, ensuring durability and comfort.

In 1999, fueled by the vision to bring the essence of relaxation he discovered in South America to more people, William took the bold step of establishing Lazy Daze's first factory. This marked a pivotal moment as the brand transitioned from crafting hammocks individually to mass production. With the opening of the factory, Lazy Daze began its journey of making rope and fabric hammocks
