Lumo
Lumo
Lumo is a twill woven curtain reminiscent of a soft woollen upholstery textile. Suitable for indoors and outdoors, it is designed by Patricia Urquiola to express a strong connection with nature, also apparent in its name – Lumo – which means light in Esperanto.
Lumo can be described as a ‘hyper-mélange’. Made with two yarns that each unite two hues twisted together, the curtain offers deep color vibrancy from a distance and when seen from close-up, fine diagonal lines. Characterised by duality, Lumo is suitable for exterior and interior use. The front side and back side of the textile presents an equally eye-catching expression whether viewed from inside or outside. One side has an energetic tone while the other features a more tranquil shade.
Lightfastness: 7
Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period. The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.
