Linen creases, softens and fades — and that is exactly why we use it in almost every home we design.
Linen is strong, breathable and made from flax, one of the most sustainable crops there is. It keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, and it only gets softer with every wash.
Where we use it
Curtains that filter light rather than block it.
Bed linen that feels lived-in from the first night.
Loose covers you can take off and wash.
How to care for it
Wash it cool, dry it on the line and don’t iron it. The creases are the point.
Washed linen curtains, filtering the morning light.
Linen is the only fabric that looks better the more you live with it.
