Loom Woven Furniture
In 1917, Marshall B. Lloyd patented a new method to produce woven upholstery. He twisted a natural fibre into twine and partially reinforced it with metal wire. This twine was then worked into a fine weave and the end result was a superior woven material called loom.

Furniture Inc.
In 1989, one of Marshall Lloyd's original chairs was found in a Dutch antique store by M.J. Kanters. He was so intrigued by the beauty and durability of the loom upholstery that he decided to produce chairs in the original method used by Marshall Lloyd. Using beech wood frames, he made chairs by hand and in 1991 established his business as Original Loom Furniture Inc..
Origineel Loom Furniture BV is a top manufacturer of stylish and authentic Loom furniture. As such, the furniture company is following in the footsteps of furniture maker Marshall B. Lloyd. In 1917, Lloyd discovered the specific Loom material. He patented the material and the manufacturing process he developed. The launch of the first Lloyd Loom chair was a momentous occasion. The very strong beech wood frame, covered with the wonderful Loom weave, proved to be a successful match. Stylish, elegant, and comfortable were the headlines in the reviews of those days. Until now these stylish chairs can somethimes be found in well-established antique shops, where they are standing in all their glory.
The Dutch furniture manufacturer, Origineel Loom Furniture BV, read all kinds of publications about the Loom inventor, his product, and his manufacturing techniques. Product specifications were closely examined. Finally, in the late 1980s, the memorable day arrived. The Dutch manufacturer was succesfull in launching the first authentic Loom chair on the Dutch market. Within a very short time, the furnisher managed to build up an excellent reputation.
For many years this reliable furnisher has done extensive business in the Benelux region, Europe, the United States, and Canada while he has unconditionally held to the traditional Loom concept. His reward: success and a renowned furniture collection.
As a leading manufacturer responding to market developments, Origineel Loom Furniture BV is known as an innovative company. Some years ago a second new Loom line was developed: a combination of the wonderful Loom material with leather and fabric accents. By visiting popular trade fairs in the Netherlands (Utrecht), Germany (Cologne), France (Paris), Italy (Milan), and Canada (Toronto), the latest furniture trends, colour schemes, and variations have been followed carefully.
Nowadays, 200 enthusiastic and skilled employees are working for Origineel Loom Furniture BV. An extensive dealer network is responsible for sales and after sales while the Logistic Department is entirely self supporting. The original Loom furniture is sold under the name of Origineel Loom Furniture.
