Lloyd Loom - furniture
Lloyd loom is a kind of fabric that originated in the United States in the early 1920s.
Let’s trace the history of this well known design and look at what it has evolved into
today. The invention of the Lloyd loom began in 1917 when an American named
Marshall B Lloyd covered a metal wire by winding kraft paper around it and then
mounting it onto a loom and weaving it. He sold the design to an Englishman who put it
to use on the English furniture that he was manufacturing. Soon this kind of furniture
was the ‘in’ thing all across Europe. There has been no looking back from that point
onwards and the process of manufacturing this furniture was obviously so perfect that
it has not been changed ever since. It is still manufactured the same way even today.
