Vincent Sheppard Lloyd Loom Furniture ‘Lloyd Loom Furniture stands for legendary seating comfort. Fit for the new century, yet retaining the authentic touch the makes Lloyd Loom so distinctive and appealing.’ History of Lloyd Loom The legendary Lloyd Loom process was invented in 1917 by the American Marshall B. Lloyd, who twisted Kraft paper round a 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, Marshall B. Lloyd sold his patent to an English manufacturer, which used Lloyd Loom in an original manner to create a collection of typical English furniture. Lloyd Loom was soon all the rage in Europe too. At the height of its popularity, in the 1930’s, Lloyd Loom furniture could be found in hotels, restaurants and tearooms, 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. More Lloyd Loom Furniture History....

Today, however, thanks to Vincent Sheppard, Lloyd Loom is still as charming and beautiful as ever. With his own interpretation of the fabric, Vincent Sheppard has created a dazzling collection of contemporary furniture that blends classic lines in an original manner with elegant innovation.

Vincent Sheppard’s new Outdoor Collection now also enables you to enjoy traditional Lloyd Loom seating comfort on your terrace, round the pool or on the balcony. To make the Lloyd Loom chairs resistant to moisture and 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 customer’s choice. The hand welded aluminium frames make Vincent Sheppard 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 to extend the life of your outdoor collection for as long as possible, we recommend that you bring the chairs indoor during the cold, damp winter months.
