As a child, TTTM’s founder, Charly, developed a deep love for hammocks. He would use his father’s old straw nets to tinker hammocks.

During his trip to India, Charly bought polyester fabric, tied both ends to trees, in order to tinker a hammock for protection from insects and dirt. Living the ‘hippy life’ in the West of India, he joined up with other backpackers and created the hammock camping: sometimes there would be more than 30 hammocks hanging from the same tree.

While visiting Bali, Charly discovers a fantastic new fabric: parachute nylon. Soon he starts his quest for the ultimate hammock: one that is easy to bring along, lightweight and quick to pitch. It is in this spirit that the TTTM Parachute Hammock is born. Delivered with an attached pouch for safe-keeping, the nautical ropes and the stainless hooks enable a quick and easy setup and the typical triple interlocked stitching ensures optimal safety. Charly’s new hammock design, using breathable, elastic, anti-mildew and resistant material available in vibrant colors, is an instant success. Charly starts selling his product at music festivals, fairs and street markets all over Europe.

After a great initial success at many European music festivals, Charly realizes that his hammock could be something more than just a way to cover the costs of his travels.

Ticket To The Moon becomes a registered trademark and opens its first shop in Bali.

The first TTTM home factory opens. TTTM introduces to the market its original Moon Chair; a smaller one for children, the Mini Moon Chair, soon follows.

After the first five successful years, the Mini Hammock is launched; the product line now includes the single, double and mini hammocks.

TTTM manufacturing moves from its home operations to a real factory.

The Pocket Moon Disc hits the market.

The King Size Hammock, which measures 320 X 230 cm, is launched: more space, more fun!

The TTTM Tarp and Mosquito Net are introduced: these welcomed product extensions offer greater hammocking pleasure as they protect from the elements and pests.

TTTM Hammocks fans are now found on every continent, and a cult-like following emerges: it regroups people with a similar positive outlook and with an urge to have a better way of life. At the same time some TTTM Tribe members start to provide aid to the Kodi people in order to improve their living conditions while preserving their culture.

The eagerness to reduce production waste and reuse materials leads to the launching of new products like beach blankets and backpacks.

Long gone are the days when TTTM hammocks were only found at music festivals and in outdoor settings; now they are seen on balconies, in living rooms, hanging from bus stops, even on boats and airplanes.

TTTM launches a new moon-shaped bag for the hammocks. The TTTM Foundation is officially established and develops aid programs in health, culture, education and development for the Kodi tribe in Mandorak County in the West of Sumba. This is part of TTTM’s Corporate Social Responsibility program.

Ticket To The Moon introduces its own aluminum Carabiner that comes in a stylish black and white combination.

TTTM celebrates its 15 years of Hammock manufacturing and gives the 400,000th product to a charity auction.

Wide suspension straps are introduced. The webbing distributes the load over a larger contact area and provides additional grip – even on smooth, suitable attachment points.

TTTM creates the Mammock, a giant hammock that is 6 meters long and 3 meters wide: even more space, more fun and many more smiles!

After preparing for 2 years, the TTTM revisits its brand for a new corporate identity and a new look on the web and in the stores. TTTM also introduces individually customized features while maintaining its established quality standards. A brand new packaging is launched: the express setting moon bag in which the suspension system (hook or carabiner) is on the outside. A 1500 square meter hammock factory opens and has optimal process solutions and working conditions.

The quest for the Ultimate Hammock continues by introducing customized print patterns and new hammock innovations, in order to take you anywhere.

The Perfect Hammock has been launched, giving another option between the King Size and the Mammock Hammock. Meanwhile the Mammock was extended to the size 800x300 cm becoming the longest hammock on the market! The Moon Straps were invented and launched to give even more security by increasing the weight capacity.

The Mammock and Perfect Hammock are now equipped with Moon Straps, a climbing rated carabiner and double Sleeves to make it the ultimate product to date. All our Moon Bags got an overhaul on the design and functionality and the new Keyring Bag was launched, now packed in a miniature hammock bag. All marketing material has been updated with new LCD screens, stickers, T-shirts and new designed displays for the Moon Bag line.

TTTM's new website was launched to integrate now all accessories of the hammock in one customizer. Ongoing research is done for a new lightweight series of products, leaving you with the best camping and trekking gear possible.

We introduced the Lightest Hammock – an ultra-light hammock designed for camping and trekking. It even received an ISPO Award! These hammocks were meticulously designed using high-quality lightweight nylon materials without compromising on comfort and durability. The Lightest Hammock series quickly gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts looking for compact and lightweight gear for their adventures. In addition to the ultra-light hammocks, we expanded our product line to include two new hammock tarps, the Lightest Tarp and the Fullmoon Tarp – both made from Sil-Nylon material. They provide shelter and protection from the elements during camping trips while keeping weight low. The Fullmoon Tarp was designed to be versatile and easily adjustable, creating an almost tent-like setup and offering various configurations for different weather conditions.

We continued to innovate and improve our products in 2021. We introduced the Home Line Hammocks, designed for those seeking style in the garden and interior but don’t want to sacrifice comfort. The Home Line Hammocks feature an integrated hammock sleeve, providing nautical ropes and carabiners, so that the product is an one stop solution. This hammock was particularly well-received by interior architects, friends of the parks and garden, but also by all our outdoor enthusiasts. Furthermore, we expanded our range of accessories, offering suspension systems, and ridge-line with organizer to enhance the overall hammocking experience. These accessories were meticulously designed to be compatible with our hammocks, ensuring ease of use and durability in various outdoor environments. The year 2021 marked a significant milestone for Ticket to the Moon as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. To commemorate this special occasion, we introduced limited edition hammocks featuring unique designs and special edition prints. These hammocks were a tribute to our journey over the past two decades and the incredible support we received from our loyal customers.

Over the past years, we have worked closely with our friends and partners in Sumba on projects in the areas of health, education and local infrastructure. The active project work of the TTTM Foundation on Sumba has now been completed. We are proud of what has been achieved together and are pleased to see our Sumbanese partners continue the work independently. Whenever needed, we remain available to provide advice and support. We continue to follow their development with great interest and are grateful for the many years of collaboration.

We are updating our Moon Bag series and increasingly using suitable fabric offcuts from our Home Line production. These materials are also used for Backpacks, Sling Bags and other products. For the Lightest and Fullmoon Tarps, we are introducing new material variants.
