Why Do We Have So Many Hooks? The Story Behind Lood’s Functional Art
At Lood, you might wonder, “Why do you have so many hooks?” The answer is simple: we’re hooked on creating functional art that seamlessly blends style and utility. As a new and young company, our journey began with a fascination for creating hooks and shelves that attach to the wall seamlessly, without any visible screws, while taking up minimal space. This vision has led us to develop a unique range of products, each reflecting the creative journey of our dedicated team.
The Inspiration Behind Our Hooks
In our early days, we were driven by the challenge of crafting hooks and shelves that are both functional and visually stunning. Our goal was to create products that integrate effortlessly into any space, providing utility without compromising on style. This vision inspired us to explore innovative attachment methods, eliminating visible screws to achieve a clean, modern look.

Our Design Philosophy
Our design philosophy focuses on minimalism and practicality, ensuring that every product not only serves a purpose but also enhances the space it occupies. Here’s what sets our hooks and shelves apart:
Invisible Installation: Concealing screws and fasteners, our designs maintain a sleek, uncluttered appearance.
Space Efficiency: Crafted to occupy minimal wall space, perfect for small areas or busy interiors.
Versatility and Style: With a variety of finishes and materials, our products complement diverse decor styles from modern to rustic.
The Creative Journey
Each product in our collection represents a unique creative journey. Here are some highlights:
Karu: Initially a simple sketch, Karu evolved into a sleek hook inspired by a rolling ribbon. Ideal for hanging items like dog leads and bags, it combines form and function.
Monohook: This single, unobtrusive hook exemplifies simplicity and versatility, fitting seamlessly into any decor while offering both functionality and style.
Fold: Designed for those who appreciate clean lines and geometric forms, Fold can be used individually or arranged in patterns to create a striking visual effect.
Fibonacci: Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, this hook features an organic shape that appears to grow from the wall. The golden ratio influenced its design, leading to a balanced and aesthetically pleasing form. Crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, it combines beauty and strength (coming soon).
