Sling Into Summer

When we first saw this kelly green sling, we were taken back to summer days in 'burbville, Minnesota. In our modest backyard, a hammock was our dad's favorite spot, its sagging center a testament to the hours spent in it. With shoes off, a chilled bottle of 7Up and a worn safari hat over his eyes, he relaxed after a day spent battling dandelions. This Father's Day, give dad the R&R he deserves with the Ting Sling, an ingenious design of woven seatbelt remnants that was just made for that sweet shady spot between the trees. The punchy palette will brighten any backyard (kelly green, tangerine); or choose neutrals for a man with more subtle tastes (camel, chocolate).—Elizabeth McMullen
