Back in 2020, Eric met Raymond on a flight back to Hong Kong. They got to talking about their shared love for hammocks and couldn't help but notice how outdated hammock stands were. When they landed, they decided to team up and fix this problem. And that's how anymaka was born.

The word "hammock" comes from the Spanish word "hamaca", which, in turn, comes from the Arawakan (Taino) root word "-maka" meaning "stretch of cloth". We incorporated the word "anywhere" into it and created the brand name "anymaka", which means "a stretch of cloth that can go anywhere". And that becomes our mission: to bring that chill hammock vibe to any spot you want to hang out.

To turn this vision into reality, we put together a team of engineers who worked closely with manufacturers, later becoming our core product development team. For two solid years, we poured our hearts into crafting our product, obsessively testing and refining it. Our goal? To create a hammock stand that was lighter, tougher, and a breeze to pack.

But that wasn't easy. We had to get really creative, think outside the box, and take some serious risks to shake things up in the market. After launching our very first product on a crowdfunding platform in 2023, the response was overwhelming. We gained the support of over 7000 backers worldwide.

Even though some things have changed along the way, our mission hasn't. Today, anymaka continues to be a team dedicated to revolutionizing the hammocking experience with lightweight, durable, and versatile products. We really hope you find your perfect hammock gear right here with us.
