POUCH A family hammock his dad brought from his native El Salvador that had been in storage for two decades was the inspo for Brooklynite Robert James Ramirez’s line of indoor hammocks and swings.

CHARUK & FORD After making names for themselves individually on the Toronto design scene, Chris Charuk and Simon Ford have combined their design superpowers. Expect sturdy but elegant pieces made from sustainably harvested white oak.
