Modelled on a manual belt-making loom from Oaxaca, Mexico, the Loom Collection is a contemporary seating range that is available in two versions: Loom Chair and Loom Stool.

Both styles include a natural wooden frame – available in four shades – and an elastic-polyester cord seat, but the Loom Chair also features a backrest made with the same material.

Customers have the option of selecting two colours of woven cords from a choice of eight.

Loom Chair

The Loom Collection was built to be both light and comfortable, and is designed to be used in dining rooms and offices or as an occasional chair.

H's new online store offers free delivery and returns, as well as a bespoke service that allows customers to adapt or modify the company's existing furniture ranges: the Leather Collection, Corner Collection and Brick Collection.

Loom Chair

The Loom Chair has a very specific inspiration — a small manual belt-making loom discovered in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Threads of strong elastic polyester woven cord are stretched to create the seating area and back rest, providing a very comfortable seating experience. Each particular thread is an independent element from beginning to end — by selecting different thread colours, totally different looks and patterns are possible.

The chair's frame is available in a choice of natural woods. It is made with the utmost care and precision, where each element of the deceptively simple wooden structure has been carved by a computer-controlled CNC machine, for a super-accurate finish. The chairs are sanded and finished by hand, a process that takes around a day for two people.

Because of the combination of materials, the Loom Chair remains surprisingly light and portable, still very resistant. Comfortable, practical and elegant, it makes the perfect dining, meeting room, or occasional chair.

H also offers a bespoke service, so clients can order a Loom Chair in different sizes and customised finishes.

Loom Stool

The four-legged Loom Stool pays homage to the ancient folk art of Mexican weaving. It's an expression of the simple beams of a rudimentary loom and the journey of the individual threads, which come together to create texture, pattern and strength.

Threads of strong elastic polyester woven cord are stretched to create the seating area, providing a very comfortable seating experience. The Loom Stool has been precisely carved by a computer-controlled CNC machine and then carefully sanded and finished by hand.

The stool's frame is available in a choice of natural woods and eight different woven cords, that can be specified to create different patterns and effects.

Light, portable, resistant and versatile, the Loom Stool can be used as an occasional stool or footrest.

H also offers a bespoke service, so clients can order the piece in different sizes and customised finishes.
