<p>Written by JANUS et Cie founder and president Janice Feldman, the title highlights the luxury and understated elegance of Lloyd Loom, a unique manufacturing process of twisting special resin-infused Kraft paper around a galvanized steel wire. Through her narrative and vivid imagery, Feldman guides the reader through a rich history and true design versatility of Loom in exotic environments spanning from the rustic countryside of Provence to the mysterious halls of Marrakesh. Invented in the early 20th century by Marshall Burns Lloyd and gaining soaring popularity in the 1920s with application everywhere from the decks of cruise liners to the royal box at Wimbledon, the art of Lloyd Loom manufacturing faced a slow fade into obscurity until a chance discovery by Ms. Feldman in her grandmother's kitchen only a few decades ago. She immediately recognized the beauty of this almost-forgotten technique when she endeavored to restore her family's prized heirlooms, then partnered with esteemed Belgian manufacturer Vincent Sheppard in the mid-1990s to modernize both the design and production of Lloyd Loom and successfully re-introduced it to the global design community. Loom: Woven Paper features a foreword by Architectural Digest's Editor-in-Chief Paige Rense who poignantly asks, "Where else is it possible to find furnishings so innately right for so many different environments, so beautifully manufactured, and so respectful of the twinned design traditions of invention and preservation?"</p>
