Designed to make a statement, lumpy’s playful bumps involve the users by stimulating the senses both visually and texturally.

The lumps are contagious says designer Brad Nicholls, who expects the lumpy range to grow quickly.

Lumpy’s body is constructed from F.S.C ply and G.E.C.A certified foams finished in James Richardson wool felt.
