Lloyd Loom

Lloyd Loom Garden Furniture is elegant, stylish and very comfortable. It lasts longer than wicker or rattan furniture. Lloyd Loom garden furniture is hand crafted and is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your garden, patio, conservatory or pool area.

The Lloyd Loom process of making garden furniture was pioneered in 1917 by Marshall B Lloyd. The process involved wrapping kraft paper around metal wire, placing these onto a loom and weaving them. This was the basis for the Lloyd Loom material that is used to make garden furniture, and this basic process remains the same today. Marshall B Lloyd was an American, and the chairs he made with this new material were successfully sold in America.

In 1921 Mr Lloyd sold the patent to a British manufacturer, leading to the production of traditional English furniture in Lloyd Loom fabric. The new production method was much quicker than wicker or rattan furniture production, and the result was more durable furniture. The range became very popular, and was found in places ranging from tearooms to ocean liners.

Lloyd Loom is enduringly popular, and there are now a number of collections inspired by this style of furniture. The Lloyd Loom furniture has retained a classical style and its traditional qualities. It has benefited from modern technology though, with a latex coating being applied and then baked in order to protect against damp. This can be followed with a coat of lacquer to give added protection against moisture and to add colour.

Aluminium can be used for the frames of some Lloyd Loom furniture, meaning that the furniture is lightweight and strong. Wood is often used as the frame, providing strength and durability. The common type of wood for this furniture is steam bent beech wood.  Lloyd Loom furniture is handcrafted to a high quality and is available in many different elegant designs.

There is a fantastic range of Lloyd Loom furniture, including chairs in a variety of styles, loungers, sofas and tables. The furniture is stylish enough to be used both indoors and outdoors. The designs of Lloyd Loom garden furniture include the traditional favourites and more contemporary and innovative items. All feature the classic flair and elegance that has made Lloyd Loom so popular.

Lloyd Loom garden furniture is easy to care for, and can be cleaned by vacuuming. Stains can be removed with a slightly damp cloth. In order to prolong the life of your furniture, it should be stored indoors during harsh winter weather. The furniture can be left out in the garden over the summer months.

Lloyd Loom fabric is stronger and has a softer feel than materials such as wicker. The weaving process means that many different shapes and lines can be formed with this fabric. The furniture is crafted into eye pleasing shapes and the fabric adds to the attractiveness of the finished product. The wide selection of different designs of Lloyd Loom garden furniture enables everyone to find the pieces that suit their taste. Every garden has a unique feel and layout, and so the choice of furniture will need to be tailored to compliment this.

Lloyd Loom garden furniture is available in a couple of different colour finishes, and cushions are also available to add extra comfort if desired. The classic style of this furniture looks best in natural colours which emphasises the elegance and timelessness of the pieces.
