Luum Launches Super Natural Collection | Luum’s Most Sustainable Collection To Date
Comprising five sustainable and super-natural textiles by Suzanne Tick, the Super Natural collection paves the way for more environmentally-conscious performance textiles—emphasizing natural, renewable, domestic, recycled, biodegradable and circular fiber systems wherever possible.
Inspired by our relationship with nature, Super Natural features a palette that finds harmony between the man-made and the organic—balancing warm and cool textures, black and white hues and the softer colors of nature with the more saturated colors of fashion. Combining craftsmanship with the durability of renewable materials, this collection weaves patterns and textures into comfortable, classic, and technical textiles to meet the needs of contract and hospitality spaces. Working in tandem with nature and its organizing powers, we take part of its system, presenting a collection that feels good and does good, too.
• Rubric
Inspired by nature’s organizing principles, Rubric’s multicolor block pattern plays with scale and repetition to create dynamic movement in an underlying grid—weaving the complex melanges of North American wool in the weft with a recycled cotton blend in the warp. Woven with natural fibers on a double beam loom, Rubric’s multicolor block pattern draws inspiration from nature’s organizing principles—playing with scale, color, and repetition to yield dynamic movement in an underlying grid. Using complex melanges of North American wool in the weft and a recycled cotton blend in the warp, Rubric’s 6 colorways punctuate neutral wool gridlines with vivid cotton accents—for a soft, breathable, and vibrant textile that’s forgiving on furniture and comfortable for all seasons and climates.
• Contrast Slub
A dense and substantial textile available in 16 stunning colorways, Contrast Slub features an organic, multi-color surface that is smooth to touch. Weaving viscose and linen in the warp and chunky cotton in the weft, a naturally irregular slub effect and an intriguing juxtaposition of color and materiality shift across the surface.
• Biotope
Exploring traditional basketweaves with new technology, Biotope is Luum’s third 100% recycled, biodegradable polyester textile with bleach-cleanable and multipurpose properties. Recycled polyester fibers are enhanced with a bio-catalyst additive and biodegrade in an anaerobic environment in 3.5 years, leaving only natural elements behind.
• Barberpole Basket
Barberpole Basket explores classic woolen structures with a textural twist. Woven on a double beam loom and combining black and white cotton barberpole yarns, blended recycled cotton and domestic wool yarns, a balanced and dynamic surface with a textured hand appears. A tribute to the integrity of natural fibers, Barberpole Basket expands the diversity of Luum’s palette with 12 elegant colorways.
• Everyday Boucle
A timelessly modern textile, Everyday Boucle tells a circular fiber story. Combining recycled warp and weft yarns with a hyper-textural wool blend boucle, pre- and post-consumer recycled wool, acrylic, and polyester from garments are shredded and re-spun into richly-colored melange yarns that retain their original colors throughout the 22 dimensional colorways.
