Luum Textiles on Jan. 23 released Good Vibrations, its first collection launch of 2024.
Spanning upholstery, wrapped wall, panel and direct glue, the five textiles within the Good Vibrations collection by Interior Design’s Hall of Fame inductee Suzanne Tick are all North American-made and contain a percentage of recycled content, for a true climate-conscious toolkit that embodies both luxury and performance. Gestures of static, frequency, and vibration are emulated in textile form, promoting the powerful forces of energy that connect us worldwide—evoking warmth, adaptability, and joy.
Organic, heathered, textural and dappled, the Good Vibrations collection offers color studies that are both bold and complementary.
Soft Static
Soft Static is a multi-color, midscale upholstery textile inspired by the concept of energy at rest. Welcoming and tactile, Soft Static uses a combination of materials to play with positive and negative space, lifting an organic pattern across a reverberating plane for a feeling of static. To create a variegated surface on a backdrop of dappled color, moments of chenille weave softness throughout the textile while a 6-ply multi-color habu boucle yarn runs through the weft. Soft Static’s 9 bleach cleanable colors contain 76% recycled content, sharing yarns with High Frequency for ease of coordination.
High Frequency
Inspired by its namesake, High Frequency visualizes the energy of sound with an abundance of boucle habu yarn. Like high frequencies, the most noticeable pitches on the auditory scale, the material makeup of this yarn creates a visual texture that’s both impactful and instantaneous — twisting 6 yarns together at different levels of tension. This multi-purpose and acoustically-transparent textile amplifies the energy of walls, panels, and furniture with color and texture. Featuring 87% recycled polyester, High Frequency coordinates with Soft Static in 16 bleach cleanable colorways.
Super Shearling
Super Shearling’s fluffy, nubby pile is due to its weave structure, which allows renewable wool fiber to express the volume and softness of its natural character. Plush to the touch and incredibly upholsterable, Super Shearling forms beautifully to the curves of furniture, elevating the texture of seating. With 20 custom piece dyed colors, Super Shearling weaves the timeless luxury of wool with pops of bold and contemporary color to create cozy, classic interiors.
Texture Map
As Luum’s fifth recycled, biodegradable, polyester textile, Texture Map joins Grid State, Ecotone, Biotope, and Intraweb as yet another sustainable solution for multipurpose spaces — with a biocatalyst additive in its cationic, disperse, and solution-dyed fibers that will biodegrade the textile at the end of its life. Yarn by yarn, Texture Map’s jacquard construction creates a staccato-like surface, punctuated by heathered weft yarns for a structural feel.
Impasto
Impasto is an organic, direct-glue wall-covering that evokes the natural texture of grasscloth. Its jacquard pattern and slub yarn give the illusion of movement through warp and weft — adding intrigue, dimension, and multidirectionality to walls. Comprised of 51% recycled content, Impasto’s 6 bleach cleanable light neutrals pair low product maintenance with high visual impact.
