Nature you can touch

Plant fibres such as hemp, rattan and grasses each have their own direction, colour and touch. Woven together, these subtle differences become texture you can feel. LOOLUME starts from woven natural fibre and turns this sense of material into the design of everyday objects.

We value the natural rise and fall, the knots and colour variations of fibre. Following the character of each material, we consider structure and proportion so the texture keeps its own expression in every form.

One material language, many everyday forms

Fibre can enclose a beam of light, dress a table, divide a space or frame a moment worth keeping. At LOOLUME, uses and forms keep expanding, and woven natural fibre is the thread that connects them all.

Lighting, table textiles, screens and home objects are different expressions of this material study. Each one starts afresh from touch, structure and use, bringing natural texture together with the needs of daily life.

Material and design, each completing the other

We draw on the Eastern sensibility for empty space and nature, and on contemporary design thinking about proportion, geometry and function. Restrained outlines hold rich textures, and every detail of weaving and making matters.

Respect means honouring the true nature of materials; harmony means letting different aesthetics meet in one object; slow making means giving every detail careful thought. These are the directions LOOLUME continues to explore.

We hope to bring nature you can touch into a warm, everyday life.
