Linen (Linum usitatissimum) is the world's oldest textile fibre, a symbol of purity to the ancient Egyptians. That which is grown in Europe today is the best linen in the world, and of all textile crops grown it is the most environmentally friendly.
The choice of V&N Interiors to focus on linen grown and woven ecologically in Italy is due to its many qualities inherent to its nature and composition. The high absorption capacity, hard wearing and slow fading nature of linen mean that it is long-lived. Its morphology allows it to play an important role in temperature control and insulation, which makes it perfect for all seasons and particularly suitable as a natural finish to walls.
The range of purest linen presented in the Flax collection by V&N Interiors is wide and varied: from gossamer, delicate cloth ideal for curtains and soft furnishings to double weight fabrics designed for tapestry and wall panels. The refined wefts and precious embroideries make them perfect for the decor both of city homes and of environments devoted to leisure.
