History of Lloyd Loom.

The ledgendary Lloyd Loom process was invented in 1917 by the American Marshall B lloyd, who twisted kraft paper round metal wire, placed the paper threads on a loom and wove them into what was to become the traditional Lloyd Loom fabric. Lloyd Loom chairs quickly became very popular in America and in 1921 the patent was osld to an English manufacturer, which used Lloyd Loom in  an original  manner to create a collection of typical English furniture.

Lloyd Loom furniture could be found in hotels, restaurants and tea rooms, as well as aboard zeppelins and cruise liners. When the factory in England was bombed at the end of the Second World War, the production of Lloyd Loom chairs came to a halt in Europe.

Lloyd Loom garden furniture collection.

Our new outdoor Lloyd Loom collection enables you to enjoy traditional Lloyd Loom seating comfort around the pool, courtyard or the garden.

To make the chairs resistant to damp, they are first dipped in a bath of latex. This protective layer is then baked on in a kiln. Finally the chairs are given a finishing coat of moisture- resistant lacquer in the colour of the customers choice. The hand welded aluminium frames make these outdoor chairs particularly sturdy and ultra lightweight, which also means they are extremely easy to handle. They will stand up to anything the weather and wind can throw at them during the summer months. To enable you extend the life of your garden furniture for as long as possible, we recommend that you bring the chairs indoors during the cold, damp winter months.
