Looom is a quirky take on animation softwares exploring ways to make the process of drawing animation playful and fun. Drawing inspiration from music creation tools, Looom feels more like playing a musical instrument than using conventional software.
Key features of Looom's distinct identity include layer-independent circular timelines for breezy weaving, layer independent frame rates, and integration with external sequencers for precise animation timing.
Inspired by musical instruments and early video-games, IORAMA was founded to create meaningful and playful experiences for all ages, with a hearty focus on creativity.
In 2020, IORAMA won the Apple Design Award for Looom, In 2023 Chantlings was a finalist for another Apple Design Award. Both apps have won the Japanese Ehon awards.
