Brands are luring environmentally conscious consumers with environmentally-conscious performance textiles. Luum’s has come up with five super-natural textiles by Suzanne Tick, entitled the Super Natural Collection.
Luum Yoga Wear is a Canadian brand that creates sustainable activewear that is consciously made for yogis by yogis. The brand focuses on using eco-friendly and recycled materials to create comfortable, durable, and stylish activewear for women and men. Their products are designed to be functional and versatile, with a range of clothing options that can be worn both on and off the mat.
SuperNatural emphasizes chief weight natural, renewable, domestic, recycled, biodegradable, and circular fiber systems wherever possible. Super Natural features a palette that finds harmony between the manmade and the organic — balancing warm and cool textures, black and white hues, and the softer colors of nature with the more saturated colors of fashion.
Inspired by Bauhaus weave structures and 1960’s Op art, Rubik’s multicolor block pattern plays with scale and repetition to create dynamic movement in an underlying grid—weaving the complex melanges of North American wool in the weft with a recycled cotton blend in the warp using an innovative double beam loom construction.
Biotope is Luum’s third 100 percent recycled, biodegradable polyester textile, providing more design solutions with its bleach-cleanable and multipurpose-use properties. Recycled cationic and disperse polyester fibers are enhanced with a bio-catalyst additive at the molecular level, accelerating biodegradation in anaerobic environments at the end of the textile’s usable life and leaving only naturally occurring elements behind.
Barberpole Basket also explores classic woolen weave structures using a doublebeam loom construction. Its textural surface offers a twist of color and materiality intertwined in contrasting tones— combining black and white cotton barberpole yarns, blended recycled cotton, and domestic wool yarns for a balanced and dynamic surface.
Pre-and post-consumer recycled wool, acrylic, and polyester from apparel are shredded down and re-spun into richly colored melange yarns, taking color from the original garments without the need for additional water or dyestuffs or energy. The hyper-textural wool blend boucle surface emerges to create a raw, natural surface on furniture.
