Evolutionary Forces

Evolutionary Forces is a collection of five textiles by Suzanne Tick inspired by the natural cycle of evolution: how creation enables equilibrium, passing to destruction and allowing the next wave to continue. Featuring new types of recycled materials, an expanding range of multicolor textures, and indoor/outdoor upholstery and drapery with an emphasis on luxury performance, this collection expanded the application possibilities of the Luum line. Adaptation is an indoor/outdoor upholstery inspired by the shape of footpaths on the shore after a winter snowstorm. With its seven nature-inspired colorways, this textile uses a soft acrylic chenille with fluid stripe flowing down fragmented areas of de-lustered acrylic to bring a contrasted effect. Adaption is bleach cleanable, has a PFAS free stain repellent, and is North American made. Textural in surface, Cognition is an indoor/outdoor upholstery with softness and appeal made for many applications where cleanability is key. Cognition’s bleach cleanable, multicolor boucle surface comes in nine diverse colorways. As Luum’s first high-UV drapery, Observation creates comfort with a luxe lightweight feel. Observation is bleach cleanable and made with 100% high-UV Trevira® CS polyester. With seven colorways, Observation works for many applications including covered outdoor patios, indoor atriums, and wellness rooms. Unbounded is an all-over multipurpose textile that uses recycled marine plastic yarn in the warp to create a raw, tactile surface, woven with a six-ply twisted habu-chenille yarn for a subtle scattering of color. Bleach cleanable and North American-made, Unbounded works well for upholstery, wrapped walls, panels, and screens. Simplicity’s tonal two-color effect comes from its cross-dye formula, which picks up lighter and darker colors in the cationic and disperse fibers to create a contrasted broken twill weave pattern. Available in 20 colorways, Simplicity’s soft, wool-like hand is composed of 60% recycled polyester, and is North American made.
