Designed by Suzanne Tick, the Five Elements collection from Luum Textiles features five impactful styles that were inspired by the “the eternal balance of earth, water, fire, air and space.” Aimed at introducing natural forces to the built environment, the Five Elements collection is defined by a mindful materiality and expressive designs. Made from responsibly sourced fibres and an ecological manufacturing process, the upholstery textiles, wall coverings and drapes marry luxury performance with a reduced environmental impact.
With textures inspired by landscapes, patterns that reflect the rhythm and movement of water, colour pairings that draw from flame and light and weaves that are open and airy, the Five Elements collection includes: Spatial Element, Earthbound, Confluence, Radiant Flux and Chenille Appeal.
A large-scale, tri-colour pattern, Spatial Element is a playful reference to early industrial punch cards and translates the code into a geometric motif. Woven from recycled polyester fibres, the upholstery fabric is available in eight bleach-cleanable colours: Starfield, Asteroid Belt, Moonlet, Zenith, Lightyear, Cosmic Dust, Solar Storm and Deep Sky.
Using pre- and post-consumer garment waste, Earthbound is a true example of renewal. Combining recycled straight and chenille yarns, the upholstery fabric has a woven dimensional surface texture adorned with multicolour flecks. The textile is available in 16 colours: Native Metal, Sinter, Pure Mineral, Moonglade, Porcelain, Playa, Fallow, Sunstone, Lush, Plume, Terra Cotta, Abyssal Plain, Blue Soil, Greenbark, Groundcover and Riverbank.
At once subtle and impactful, Confluence is a tonal, large-scale pattern with an understated tactile presence. Taking inspiration from waterways meeting, the jacquard weave structure emerges and dissolves, lending movement when directly glued to walls. The bleach-cleanable surface material is available in six colours: Tigris, Ganges, Rhine, Thames, Seine and Rio Grande.
A wide-width iridescent drapery, Radiant Flux seems to dance in the light. It can be hung railroaded or off-the-bolt and its lightweight sheer construction has a brilliant luminosity and dimension. Each colour is comprised of two complementary weft yarns to achieve a polychromatic vertical ribbed effect. Available in 12 colours: Sirius, Star Cluster, Milky Way, Venus, Libra, Lyra, Perseus, Cassiopeia, North Star, Polaris, Gemini and Orion.
The plush and soft surface of Chenille Appeal begs to be touched. Made from recycled chenille yarns (recycled polyester and SeaQual Yarn from marine plastic), the rich texture is the result of lighter-coloured weft yarns overlapping with darker warp colours. The bleach-cleanable upholstery is available in 12 colours: Storm Cloud, Silver Spring, Mallow, Flaxen, Prickly Pear, Russet, Crottle, Celery, Arctic Moss, Blue Fescue, Water Garden and Evening Rain.
