Contemporary Classics

Lloyd Loom: an intriguing story

The fascinating history of Lloyd Loom starts in the United States of America in 1917, during the ambiguous times of World War I. Entrepreneur Marshall Burns Lloyd, who was producing baby carriages and strollers at that time, found himself confronted with a severe drop in the supply of rattan as a result of the war. As an alternative, he invents a technique in which paper is twisted around a metal wire and subsequently machine woven into large sheets of woven paper thread. When putting the material to use in his production of baby carriages, he discovers that this new material is not only much stronger, but also a lot more softer and thus more comfortable than rattan. He calls his invention the 'Lloyd Loom' techinque.

In 1992 the Belgian company Vincent Sheppard decided to pick up the thread of the Lloyd Loom tradition and craftsmanship. Vincent Sheppard created a dazzling collection of contemporary furniture that blended classic lines with elegant innovation. The success was instant and the theme continues throughout the brand today.

Vincent Sheppard now produce both interior and exterior collections fusing Lloyd loom styles with modern technological materials. The result is a range of furniture that is contemporary in nature yet retains its classic heritage.

In the fully owned production facility in Cirebon, Indonesia, almost 400 skilled workers hand make the furniture. Indonesia is the natural home of rattan and the Cirebon area has a celebrated tradition of hand making furniture with rattan. The origin of all raw materials is controlled which enabled Vincent Sheppard to attain the FSC label in 2013.
Characteristic for the Vincent Sheppard philosophy is that both the chair frames and the Lloyd Loom weave are produced in-house!
Upholstery is done in the upholstery workshop located in Spiere, Belgium, where all deluxe products are finished with the finest fabrics or leather.
Attention to detail is emphasised throughout the entire production process resulting in an exceptionally high level of quality. Remember, each piece of furniture is handmade.
