Lloyd Loom Chairs

For many years, wicker has been used in the making of furniture, but there still exists the problem of it being somewhat coarse and apt to catch ones clothing. It also looks, today, more appropriate in a conservatory or garden room setting.

In the early 1900's the Lloyd Loom method of building furniture was discovered and quickly gained popularity. Much like wicker furniture, Lloyd Loom furniture was woven together, but instead of using rattan or cane, paper or fabric, lined with wire was used. This created a much softer product, which could be used in many different locations around the home.

When the Art Deco period came along, the Lloyd Loom method of production was perfect for creating chairs with the curves that are so often associated with the Art Deco style. It was easy and efficient to build using this process and high volumes of chairs could be created. Because of the soft feel, Lloyd Loom chairs were perfect for not only decorative features, but also to use as actual seating. No longer did clothing get caught in the chair, which was common with wicker. They were soft and lightweight, which made them perfect for many households. Large, solid wood pieces of furniture, though popular in their day, are often too large and heavy for today’s modern décor. However, adding a Lloyd Loom chair to the decor of your home can be a smart design decision.
