About Luflic*
MORE ABOUT LUFLIC*
Luflic is the Old English word for ‘lovely.’ It is pronounced ‘loo-flick’. It was originally used to describe a desirable or attractive person. Over time it also came to describe material objects, suggesting some similarity in our feelings of attachment to both people and things.
We are devoted to making furniture that is inventive and memorable. The furniture we create will form part of the collection of objects that shapes your home. Inventive things stir conversation and remain in the minds of the people who experience them. People care more about objects that are memorable.
We value craft as much as we value new technology. We use both, often in combination in the same piece of furniture. So it goes for materials; new materials give rise to new possibilities in form and older materials are never obsolete. Everything can be made useful.
Our primary environmental stance is simple: Make furniture that is desirable and durable so there is no reason to replace it or throw it away.
We hope you find pleasure in the experience of our work.

dave kral – director of research and development
Dave began training as a machinist at an early age under the tutelage of his Czech-born father, Mickey. By the age of seventeen he could take apart and re-assemble a car engine. He bypassed formal schooling in industrial design with the encouragement of several of his teachers at a Toronto-based college who observed that Dave’s knowledge surpassed theirs. He has worked in the plastics and automotive sectors for ten years and he has a fine eye for detail.
