Furniture Construction: A Hand-Crafted Art Never Lost
​Dom Lo Design Inspiration: Minimalism Rooted in Ancient Civilizations
​
Minimalism is the term best prescribed to the composition of Dom Lo’s selection of furniture, artwork, and elements of interior design. Rather than pigeonholing ourselves to such modern iterations as brutal or digital minimalism, which are prevalent in architecture and tech design respectively, we look to the oldest example of minimalism.
Ancient cultures like Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, and more, are renowned for their attention to function over form. Obviously, they could not accomplish the extravagant designs that we see today, thanks to modern tools and equipment, but it is that very restriction to their craft that bore minimalist beauty. Natural materials, like limestone and marble, provided an efficient natural aesthetic to ancient creations, be it something as simple as a ceramic pot, or something as grand as the pillars holding up a temple. These designs spoke to a culmination of nature and purpose.
Dom Lo Studios now attempts to return to this simple appreciation for function within design. The beauty of our products comes from natural materials and honest form, resulting in a quality design that will complement any room.
Dom Lo Studios is proud to say that with every piece we offer, there is always more than meets the eye.

Custom Designed Spring Down Cushions
Webbing
A tight seat construction can be achieved using layers of foam. There are four grades of high-resilience density foam cores to choose from, each crowned with super soft high-resiliency foam that provides initial softness and deep seating support. This cushion filling is the best of both worlds with the resilience and stability of foam wrapped in channeled and feather-filled down-proof ticking. The foam cushion requires minimum maintenance and gives a neat appearance. We achieve a similar feeling to a box spring by adding a webbing construction beneath the foam. Also known as a lattice web system, but sometimes simply called webbing seat support
Foam Wrapped in Down
Feather and down cushions are the epitome of softness and environmental friendliness. They are made by sewing a channeled down-proof ticking and then completely filling it with high-quality feathers and down. Regular fluffing and rotation are necessary to maintain their structure and appearance.
Box Spring
Our foam wrapped in a custom-designed unit of box springs specifically for the piece in hand, helps us keep up with the latest trends, but can also provide lasting support and comfort.
Spring Down
For individuals who prefer a seating experience that is neither too firm nor too soft, a spring-down cushion is the perfect option. The cushion is composed of a coiled spring core that is enveloped in foam, before being encased in channeled and feather-filled down-proof ticking. The resilient feel of the cushion is attributed to the combination of foam and spring, while the feather batting adds a touch of softness. Regular fluffing and cushion rotation are required to maintain the cushion's structure, however, this is significantly less demanding than it would be for an all-feather and down cushion.
