Well-designed furniture conveys emotion. It’s about feeling with more than the senses. “Natchez,” a new furniture collection from Lloyd/Flanders®, is based on romance. Elements such as sweeping lines and indulgently curved backs anchor a collection sure to turn any head. Like its namesake on the historic Mississippi, the Natchez Collection represents that hard-to-find gem worth hunting for. But the Collections’s delicacy doesn’t mean it’s lost any trademark American strength. Smoothlined wicker is gently tucked around sturdy metal frames, ensuring long lasting, indoor/outdoor durability. Lloyd Loom® In 1917, Marshall B. Lloyd patented a process of weaving cellulose strands into wicker fabric. Lloyd/Flanders® has advanced the original technology producing a continuous strand that will not burr, crack, or peel resulting in a consistently smooth weave. Each strand in the fabric’s warp is constructed of twisted cellulose fibers immersed in glue to prevent unraveling. In the weft, the strands are reinforced with aluminum wire for addedstrength and resilience. Following the weaving process, the wicker is completely submerged in a resin emulsion and baked to form a flexible coating which provides additional protection from moisture. The wicker is then contoured over a sturdy aluminum frame and is completed with our special Durium® finish ensuring years of use. This innovative manufacturing process allows Lloyd/Flanders® to produce wicker furniture that is both versatile and durable. !Coupled with upscale design and stylish comfort, it has quickly become the most sought-after all weather wicker furniture available today.
