Fathers Day is just around the corner. June 15th is a day to celebrate and recognize the dear and loved dads that taught us to ride our first bike, gave us our first sip of beer when mom wasn’t looking, and let us watch Arachnophobia when we were 8 (which gave me...
In my experience the word “Adirondack” has always left people tongue-tied and confused…”That’s the chair, right?” So what’s with this chair and why is it called an Adirondack? Loll’s recycled plastic Adirondack chair The chairs origin can be traced back to the beginning of the 1900’s in the Adirondack...

Here are just a few photos from our Halloween Costume Contest last week. As you can see there were some real doozies. My personal favorite was from Intectural’s very own, Shaunna Heckman, who morphed herself into a TruRide Skate ramp. A nod to the company which eventually started Loll Designs. Nice work, Shaunna!...

Here’s a look of a typical lunchtime run with the boys of hawks boots. You should also know that the music (created through the app songify) is also performed by them so we can all be thankful they chose the patch of cutting boards and furniture instead of music...

If you have ever visited the Loll HQ you might have noticed two things (the beer stashed under Nate’s desk doesn’t count). There’s a whole lot of black richlite AND it’s naked. Don’t get the wrong idea – we love a clean look, but our large expansive walls are prime real estate for...
Did you know that Loll has a sister company called Epicurean that makes extremely cool eco-friendly kitchen accessories? I received my first Epicurean cutting board 7 years ago as a Christmas gift and I still use it pretty much everyday. Along with cutting boards, they make some handy utensils like this muddler. What...
Most people are pretty surprised that Loll was born in Duluth, Minnesota. I mean, it is sort of ironic since we experience some of the most dramatic weather changes in the lower 48 and our summer is practically only 3 months long. People hear the word Minnesota and immediately think...
