Madera Presents an art/hammock collab with pro skier Chris Benchetler and his good friend pro muralist Skye Walker. 

Our new collection houses 4 artisan works by both Chris and Skye.

Our first two hammocks (Narratives and The stealthy Marmot) were originally works intended to wrap their adventure converted sprinter vans (Arrow pointing to each van saying Chris’s van and Skye’s van).

The stealthy Marmot derives inspiration from Yosemite. It blends Old Man Winter (an iconic work by Chris) with Mother Nature and connects the mountains with the sea. Chris wrapped it on his van for his GoPro series: Chasing adVANture while traveling up the west coast to surf, ski, and live immersed in nature.

The second van wrap mural converted to a hammock is called Narratives. It shows how Mother Nature and Old Man Winter connect through each other, the land, animals, trees, waves, weather and humans. Skye wrapped it on his van for a year-long mural tour across the US intending to leave behind masterpieces & inspiration while increasing public know-how.

Our Last two hammocks (Chloroblast and photosynthesis) were originally designed to live side by side and just like Narratives and The stealthy Marmot give a fresh take on how Mother Nature and Old Man Winter connect through nature.

Chloroblast features a whale and bear as focal imagery and shows the connection between the earth and all things living. The majority of the art on this piece is from Chris.

Photosynthesis, the fraternal twin brother to Chloroblast, with mostly Skye’s art features what these good friends love: Nomadic van exploration connecting all living things to the earth and nature.

Madera is so honored to have Chris and Skye on board (literally) with this project with the end goal to deepen human regard towards our planet and strengthen human connection to all things living on it. 

This product is available for pre-order now and the first batch will ship in June. As always Madera will plant 2 trees per purchase and as a bonus for being patient you’ll get early-bird pricing, Madera will plant a 3rd tree, and Chris and Skye will throw in a signed 5X7 print of the mural painted on your hammock.

They’re available for purchase on our site or as well at chrisbenchetlerart.com.
