I am trying to locate the manufacture of a Danish textaline, stainless
steel & teak hammock designed by Jesper Moller Hansen. It is in the
Frontgate cataloge listed as the avant hammock.  Could you help me?

Hi taylor321,

Thank you for your interesting question.

Following the research I carried out, I have been able to establish
the manufacturer of this exquisite hammock. After searching the
Frontgate catalogue, I looked for other websites that carry the same
product, and found the Avant hammock at the following website:
'Crocus - Gardeners by Nature'
http://www.crocus.co.uk/

The hammock can be viewed here:

At the above website I noted that the hammock is called the "Alexander
Rose Avant Hammock".

Searching for Alexander Rose, I identified them as the manufacturer.

furniture and accessories across the UK and much of Europe. With over
twenty years management experience of manufacturing and marketing..."

Hi taylor321,
While researching your question I emailed Alexander Rose to clarify
that they are the manufacturers of the Avant hammock. Below is the
response I received today:

"We are the manufactures of this product. Jesper Moller Housen is one
of our freelance designers. We make a large range of Teak and
Stainless steel products in Teak and Iroko."
