The "Lino" driver

The "Lino" driver

One of the most beautiful characteristics of linen is its drape, a visual effect that invites you to touch and weigh, caress and smell, and turns it into a complete sensory feast. But not just any drape will do: it has to know how to do it with weight, but without sacrificing its grace and freshness, accepting the wrinkle and revaluing it.

FLAX HAS PROVED ITS STRENGTH THROUGHOUT HISTORY

It has played a resounding role since it was king of the basics to dress the Egyptians and their queen Cleopatra, as a base for writing for seven centuries until paper was discovered, or as a canvas for the painters of the Renaissance, starting with Titian. After traveling through history with such weight, it has fallen into our hands, we have pampered and washed it as it deserves, and we have elevated it to the absolute podium of our basics to settle definitively in our lives and on our skin.

AND BECAUSE IT IS VERSATILE, NOBLE AND ELEGANT

each of the functions we have given it has been interpreted with class and personality. We made it into sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers and comforters, making it 180 gr/m2 grammage so that it is soft and the skin slides relaxed inside them. Those of us who appreciate the pleasure of sleeping on linen sheets want nothing else, and we even like to share the experience with all our loved ones. Therefore, we have arranged our sheets in the three standard sizes and wrapped them in beautiful bags of the same material so that the experience of enjoying them begins even in the closet from where they wait. And because we know that when you love, you always want more, we've made them in seven basic and serene colors: ivory, beige, lead grey, ochre, pale pink, turquoise and aqua green, and even in some of our favorite prints. To finish dressing those beds we enjoy designing printed or embroidered bedspreads, already of a more important grammage (190 gr/m2), so that its weight on the surface of the bed and when falling from it always draws elegant and harmonic lines, like the clothes in the Renaissance paintings. And I can't forget my favorites, the striped bedspreads. They are so beautiful and versatile that I want to make them in all colors.

MESAEXT559. And what happens when you like these fabrics so much that one day you decide to make them tablecloths?

AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIKE THESE FABRICS SO MUCH THAT ONE DAY YOU DECIDE TO MAKE THEM TABLECLOTHS?

Or do you want to cover yourself with them while devouring a series? Nothing, quite the opposite! Your table takes on a new life and dresses up, your living room becomes something more beautiful. In the photos we have been taking throughout these two years of life of @LodeManuela we have bet on giving new and infinite versions to our designs, so we know that they pass with the same elegance from the bed to the sofa and from the sofa to the table: quilt-blanket-blanket, we call them.

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF THE TABLE...

welcome to the wonderful universe of beautiful tablecloths! Nothing dresses a table better than a good tablecloth, and linen has served us as a common thread to make them in the most beautiful plain colors, always topped with a delicate hemstitch, we have printed them with our most groundbreaking designs, because they are enhanced at the table, and we have embroidered them with African animals, flowers and paisleys, each one more spectacular. All with matching napkins, or not, because sometimes magic happens when you mix and match.

cushions. And this phrase serves me to tell you about our king and queen pieces: the cushions.

AND THIS PHRASE SERVES ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT OUR KING AND QUEEN PIECES: THE CUSHIONS.

The 390 gr/m2 grammage linen dresses them in all colors, which are even more beautiful when washed, and makes them the protagonists of living rooms and bedrooms. Size is another element to create rhythms and games. A good mix of squares and rectangles of different sizes creates personality and harmony. The combinations are endless, as many as tastes and people.LINEN CUSHION 30X50 stripes mediterranean blue LOW 1672x1672. The particularity of our cushions is that they have an exposed zipper and a leather bow to seal them.

THE PARTICULARITY OF OUR CUSHIONS IS THAT THEY HAVE AN EXPOSED ZIPPER AND A LEATHER LOOP TO SEAL THEM.

These are details that make them beautiful and independent pieces, and not just another plain cushion. You can keep the beautiful simplicity of the basics, or combine them with prints, screen prints or embroidery. All those wonderful designs that we have been creating each season with our artists also become washed linen cushions and are pieces that know how to accompany with class and charisma, adding up. Always adding up.

LINEN GOWNS AND LINEN BAGS

So that the skin does not miss the tenderness of feeling wrapped by our noble material, we also designed soft linen gowns that accompany the interior as an intimate garment hugging the waist, or open and flying in the wind as a street garment if combined with pants. In these walks we have also incorporated linen bags, which, in all colors, are always filled with stories, books, flowers, fruits, notebooks and it feels good to return home with sand and a certain scent of salt.
