GRAPHIC TWILL TAPE WEAVINGS

by Suzanne Tick

On view Mon, June 10 - Wed, June 12, 9:00am - 5:00pm Luum, Suite 700, 311 North Green, Chicago, IL 60607

Amongst the fabric covered panels throughout the space, nine hand weavings by Suzanne Tick and Tick Studio are on display in the Luum showroom. Using standard 100% cotton twill tape in black and white colorways, many classic weave structures are explored: the plain weave, the houndstooth, the herringbone, the satin weave, the 1/3 twill, the 2/2 twill, the basketweave; giving the viewer an educational touchpoint to understand the classics of weave structure. Much wider than typical textile yarns, these 5/8” wide tapes display an expanded visual of each weave and the color placement of each structure which guides the viewer in understanding how variations of the weave structures occur.

PATTERNS IN PRACTICE: POP UP WEAVING WORKSHOP

by Suzanne Tick

Mon, June 10 - Tues, June 11, 9:00am - 5:00pm Luum, Suite 700, 311 North Green, Chicago, IL 60607

Join Suzanne and the Tick Studio designers in a weaving workshop pop-up. Visitors will be able to select one of four classic weave structures - the plain weave, the basketweave, the 2/2 twill, and the herringbone - to craft a one-of-a-kind 6” x 6” weaving to take home. Each structure is inspired by the newly launched collection and explores the intricate process and foundational techniques of weaving. No experience necessary!

TWIST ON A CLASSIC COLLECTION

Designed by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles

In the spirit of reinvention, Suzanne Tick modernizes timeless weave structures with the Twist on a Classic collection. Houndstooth, herringbone, nubby modern wool, boucle texture, two-toned drapery, and large-scale graphic pattern motif are reimagined through scale studies, iridescent color combinations, and coating technology that make for unique, tactile surfaces. Crafted with a commitment to sustainability, these six textiles tell a story of mindful innovation upon every interior surface.

HYPED UP

Twist on a Classic collection

Inspired by the contrasting check-and-block shape of houndstooth, Hyped Up turns this traditional pattern up a notch—enlarging the iconic shape with multicolor weaves to establish an entirely new feel. Recycled performance yarns display a linen-like slub effect that creates unexpected color combinations with a subtle iridescence when applied to furniture. Hyped Up extends Structured Stripe and Duo Chrome’s product line in a sustainable way, for a holistic interior solution in nine fresh colorways.

WOOLY WOOLY

Twist on a Classic collection

Wooly Wooly upholstery showcases the luxury of wool at full volume. Simple and timeless like a mid-century modern slubby wool boucle, artfully-mixed mélanges of heathered yarns are crafted from a blend of tones to showcase the contrasting relationship between dark and light—creating a sophisticated, nuanced palette. Available in a range of 10 colorways, Wooly Wooly’s enmeshed fibers use wool, cotton, acrylic, and polyester to ground a space in comfort.

HERRINGBONE HYBRID

Twist on a Classic collection

Combining the depth and beauty of woven textiles with the performance of coated materials, Herringbone Hybrid offers the best of both worlds to seating. To attain its organic chevron motif, heathered yarns are twisted and woven into a broken twill jacquard pattern, forming a polyester base cloth. A clear, thermoplastic elastomer topcoat is applied over the top. This high-performance upholstery is wipeable, sanitizable, and resistant to ink, stains, and abrasions—elevating a time-trusted suiting material for healthcare, higher education, workplace, and hospitality settings through 11 complex colorways.

AFTERIMAGE

Twist on a Classic collection

Sharing a lineage with Gaze drapery, Afterimage is a semi-sheer drapery that explores the beauty of woven, ombre color effects and large-scale striae patterning in vertical spaces. Made of a soft, elegant, reversible wool blend, this material creates an enlivening back-and-forth between open collaborative spaces and more private offices—as one hue blends with another. Inherently fire retardant and 126 inches in width, Afterimage sets the tone in a space and offers a highly-usable solution for hospitality, higher education, and workplaces alike. Designed to be railroaded, Afterimage’s expansive pattern repeats vertically every 27 inches across the textile, resulting in a monumental effect as the material ripples. Available in six fresh combinations of warms and cools, and neutrals with brights, Afterimage shapes the outlook of a space by diffusing light into a unique glowing effect.

SGRAFFITO

Twist on a Classic collection

Inspired by the artisanal technique of scratching away plasterwork to reveal a differently-colored layer beneath, Sgraffito employs a tonal two-color, organic curvilinear pattern, with chenille yarns that rise to reveal a handchiseled effect that moves vertically and horizontally across the surface. The upholstery’s natural variation can transform groups of furniture, giving each piece a unique feel while maintaining harmony within a space. Designed to minimize waste in upholstery applications and suitable for high-performance spaces, Sgraffito is bleach-cleanable, high UV, and has a PFAS-free stain repellent.

DEMI BOUCLE

Twist on a Classic collection

A multi-purpose textile with the feel of handspun, looped boucle yarn, Demi Boucle offers the performance and cleanability needed for today’s dynamic spaces. With 100% recycled polyester in the warp and weft, its textural surface and expansive color palette can be applied to upholstery, wrapped walls, panels, and screens—enhancing every surface of the built environment with durability, and depth of color and texture. Demi Boucle’s palette of 18 mainstays range from grounded neutrals to fresh pops, drawing inspiration from the colors of the natural world.

RECYCLED GARMENT WASTE TEXTILES

by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles

Woven at a European woman-owned mill engrained in a long tradition of fiber recycling, Everyday Boucle, Melange Check, Wool Fleck and Graph Speck yarns contain 100% recycled wool, polyester and acrylic fiber.

Bales of discarded apparel and post consumer textile waste are sorted by color and fiber type, shredded to the fiber level, blended and then spun back into yarns. Each yarn hue is artfully created using a variety of individual colors to achieve a melange effect, taking color from the original garments without the need for additional water, dyestuffs or energy.

Each design starts with weaving hand woven prototypes on our loom. These structures are then manifested into commercially tested products for the Architecture and Design industry.
