Linen is a strong, natural fiber known for its low carbon footprint in both cultivation and production.
Derived from the flax plant, linen is biodegradable, reusable, and uniquely absorbent due to its hollow fibers. These exceptional properties make linen ideal for kitchen textiles and bedding. Like silk and wool, linen naturally regulates heat and moisture and has inherent anti-bacterial qualities.
Stilleben's pure linen textiles embrace the tactile and elegantly creased look inherent to the material.
Our skilled linen producer is Fairtrade-certified and based in northern Portugal. The company has been operating since 1996 and specialises in home textiles.
The factory uses only materials free from harmful chemicals, and all products are OEKO-TEX certified. Since its founding, the factory has had a strong focus on supporting the local community in the northern region – with an emphasis on education, fair wages, and inclusion.
Additionally, we source OEKO-TEX certified linen textiles from Portugal, with all fabrics procured within the EU.
