Introducing Lloyd Loom Wicker Furniture

Introducing Lloyd Loom of Spalding brought to you by Crane Sheds and Summerhouses. Enhance the living space of your new summerhouse or chalet with this superior range of quality furniture.

In the early 20th century there was a great demand for woven furniture in developed countries, but attempts to fulfill this need by mechanising the weaving of cane proved impossible. Hand weaving was too costly, it took a single weaver five days to produce a finely woven chair.

Marshall Burns-Lloyd Marshall Burns-Lloyd, an American with more than 200 inventions to his credit, studied the wicker weaving process and realised that it would be possible to replace cane with twisted paper, which could be woven by a loom.

 

The new material, called Lloyd Loom, was a much finer, stronger and longer lasting fabric.

Today the company produces Lloyd Loom furniture in an identical manner to that created by Burns-Lloyd in 1917, and are proud to be inheritors of his unique process.
