With Liora Manné, it's all about color, pattern and texture. Her vibrant designs now include upholstered furniture, rugs, lighting, pillows, wallpaper, textiles, home accessories and rugs...
Liora Manné has created four patented manufacturing techniques for her rugs:
- Lamontage: the ancient art of felting is transformed by modern technology and materials through a patented process. Acrylic fibers are layered and then interlocked by needle-punching to create custom colors.
- Dimensions: utilizes a computerized water-jet rug process to allow for the creation of intricate, cut-out patterns on the Lamontage rug base.
- Montique: utilizes custom dyed fibers that are cut, blended and layered by hand and are then encased in plastic for a translucent high-tech effect. This innovative process results in products that are practical, durable and contemporary.
- Lumina: colored fibers are layered into acrylic for the design. The acrylic is then molded to create a shape.

I am drooling, I love the orange swirly one.... these rugs really appeal to the senses... the colors and textures. I would love to feel some of these... too bad they don't make a browser plug in for that yet.

Ah, I knew I recognized that library! Great reno of the children's room in the [previously very shabby] branch at 181st(ish).... miss that library. Those giant light fixtures deserve a post of their own -- they;re spectacular.

I wrote a paper on her and Todd Oldham about four years ago in grad school for a modern textiles class.
Amazing and interesting techniques! I should see if I can dig up that paper.
