SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability
From where materials begin to the days we share with objects.
OUR DIRECTION
Care, in every choice.
LOOLUME's work is born of woven natural fibre, so our thinking on sustainability begins with understanding these materials: where they come from, how they are processed, designed and used, and how everyday care helps them last.
We want this attention to run through material selection, prototyping and everyday use, valuing the textures and touch that nature provides in every decision.
01 / MATERIALS
Rooted in plants, mindful of origin.
Materials such as hemp, rattan and grasses are tied to how plants grow. Renewable sourcing is one quality of natural fibre; its environmental footprint also depends on cultivation or harvesting, processing and transport.
We are steadily building our knowledge of each fibre's type, origin and processing. Knowing where a material comes from also means understanding the land, water and environment it depends on.
02 / MAKING
Following the weave, valuing every material.
Width, grain direction and density all affect how a woven material can be used. Respecting natural colour and texture, and letting structure follow the material, is one way we avoid unnecessary decoration.
While meeting each piece's functional and structural needs, we aim to reduce unnecessary use through careful layout and prototyping, and to reuse offcuts in small objects and details.
03 / LASTING VALUE
Designed from the start to last.
Good materials need the right structure. From the load on a woven surface and its edge finishing to the joints with wood or metal parts, every detail shapes how a piece feels in daily use.
Lighting, table textiles, screens and home objects are each used differently. We bring durability and future care into the design, so each object's value lasts as it is lived with.
04 / EVERYDAY CARE
Everyday care keeps materials beautiful.
Natural fibre responds to humidity, light and how it is used. Avoiding prolonged damp and strong sunlight, handling gently and storing well all help keep the material in good condition.
Different fibres, weaves, finishes and constructions need different care. Before cleaning, removing stains or maintenance, please read the material notes for the piece and choose a suitable method.
Our approach to sustainability will keep evolving with our material research and product development. For specific materials, construction and care, please refer to the information for each piece.
