Thoughts

Our latest collection for Luum, Outdoor In by Suzanne Tick, offers four bleach-cleanable performance textiles for indoor-outdoor spaces in hospitality, higher education and corporate environments—bringing new, pivotal products to these hybrid spaces. Showcasing forward-thinking textile design, Outdoor In utilizes high-UV fibers, new coated technology and recycled polyester yarns to enhance user experience and flexibility in both the interior and exterior.

New textures and patterns in this collection extend the Luum line, ranging from weaverly and sophisticated to organic and playful. The pattern work expresses themes of distortion and reflection, referencing both digital and analog processes and showing the new ways in which we negotiate virtual and in-person communication.

As we rethink the ways life, work and communication influence design, outdoor accessibility continues to prove a major influence in design equity. Whether indoors or outdoors, walls, panels, screens and seating can be re-adjusted in real time throughout the day with ease, unlocking the full creativity within.

Yesterday’s field trip to the Bronx to see Yayoi Kusama’s work together in nature, we fell in love with her creativity. As Yayoi Kusama states “our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos.”

The space where consciousness is displayed.

Created for Tarkett, the Meta Firma Collection celebrates the beauty and splendor of earth and sky. Explore the patterns and colors derived from nature and reinterpreted for commercial interiors here.

Skyward is a translation of the obscured night sky, focusing our attention upward to the unbounded galaxies. The style is available in 10 colors and three modular tile sizes.

Earthbound grounds us back on land, with a pattern largely inspired by the textures of North American salt flats. Choose from the same palette of 10 colors, in both Powerbond and three modular tile sizes.

Analog Field is a digitally printed LVT that explores the continuity of the atmosphere, alongside its irregularities. Light with dark. Earth with sky. Permanence with evolution.

Have you heard the great news? Now through November 2021, Skyline Designs will donate a portion of sales from their new Obscura Collection, designed by Suzanne Tick, to help fund programming and operations for the 2022 Be Original Americas Student Fellowship!

To celebrate this partnership, Be Original Americas asked Charlie Rizzo, Founder of Skyline Design, and designer Suzanne Tick to share what inspires them, tell us about how they got their start in the design industry, and reveal what being original means to them now. Click here to read the full interview on the Be Original Blog.
