The name "LoooLo" is a visual representation of "100%", symbolizing our commitment to every aspect of the design process – from making the choice to use organic materials during development to consideration of the environmental footprint our products leave at the end of their useful lives. Since the textile industry is one of the largest known environmental polluters, we want to address this in order to affect global change. We are excited to bring you a line of biodegradable home furnishings in a full range of colours. A few years ago, organic home goods had a very "eco" look and were difficult to find. With environmental concerns on the rise consumers are beginning to realize the real importance of healthy lifestyles, which now encompasses everything from food, to homes and cars. At LoooLo Textiles our devotion to good design allows us to be innovative by combining design and ecology to produce one of the first home furnishing lines geared towards the modern conscious consumer. We are driven by the belief that good design is sustainable design. So we go to great lengths to ensure that all the raw materials that go into making our textiles have as little (if any) negative environmental impact as possible. This ensures that our products are fully biodegradable. At the end of their useful life, LoooLo textiles can be safely put into a composter and, within one year, be reabsorbed by the earth. We use high quality, certified organic materials as the basis for all of our products and we use Canadian suppliers whenever we can. Doing our part for the planet means making the best environmental choice at every stage.

Rangemark Textiles was born out of founder Kathryn Allison's passion for pattern making and inspired by her great-grandfather's coastal Maine painting studio of the same name. "As part of a multigenerational family of artists I've always been drawn to patterns and the feel one gets from producing and seeing a truly unique pattern." Each Rangemark piece is crafted in America by hand from organic linen, which sometimes results in slight variations within each piece but make it truly one-of-a-kind. The textiles are designed with the belief in creating quality products that will last a long time. Rangemark pieces encourage mixing and matching by pattern and color. Rangemark Textiles is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Born in New York City in 1907, Girard was raised and educated in Italy by an American mother and French-Italian father. Much of his most famous work emerged from his time as the director of fabric and textiles at Herman Miller, a position he held from 1952 to 1975. There, he collaborated with George Nelson and Ray Eames on designs that broke new ground for the industry in the US and well beyond. Girard's style was boldly colorful, incorporating geometric patterns and illustrative folk art-inspired imagery. Other notable works of Girard include the branding of Braniff Airlines, the design of New York’s La Fonda del Sol restaurant, and a huge mural at the John Deere headquarters. Today, Girard’s work is distributed by House Industries and some of his textile designs have been re-released through Urban Outfitters and other popular merchants. Girard died in 1993.
