Company Description:
Lamontage, Liora Manné's patented medium for creating textiles, combines the ancient art of felting with modern technology and materials. The name of this innovative method is derived from “lamina” for layering and “montage” for image.
The Lamontage product is specially created by blending and mixing custom dyed acrylic fibers, resulting in a rich palette of over six hundred hues, which are then manipulated to generate intricate color and pattern possibilities.
Manné's New York City artisans blend, layer, cut and hand create each design using special hand-held needles.
Once a design is complete, high-tech processing and needle-punching transform the material into fabric by further blending and compressing the colored fibers. The fabric is then saturated by natural latex, which gives the material great durability, making it a practical, cleanable product.
Montique, Liora Manné's newest patented medium for creating textiles, encases Lamontage fabric designs between two layers of clear molded plastic creating a translucent and fresh texture. Montique has been used both in a thin and malleable form (for handbags, shoes, placemats and lighting), as well as, in a thicker gauge for platters.
Lumina, Liora Manné's latest manifestation, is created by hand layering colored fibers into resin to form a design. The resin is then molded to create a shape.
