Dating back to ancient Egypt, Linen has been used for thousands of years to add a touch of softness and luxury. In fact, the word “linen” originally translated to mean “woven moonlight.” Whether your taste is contemporary or traditional, mid-century or avant-garde, this soft, breathable, durable material may be the ideal choice to add comfort and texture to your space. This week, we’re highlighting five designs that showcase the beauty and versatility of linen upholstery. YAK SOFA Lucidi & Pevere Yak is a sofa for the contemporary home, sporting plush, inviting cushions and drawing from clear mid-century influences. One can tell from simply looking at the design that it’s exceptionally comfortable, in addition to being exceptionally stylish, two qualities which become more prominent when linen upholstery is introduced. The wooden frame and upholstered cushions are surrounded by a cowhide back and armrests, which ties together this harmonious triad of materials.   BETTY TK1 Jakob Thau & Sami Kallio Through a sophisticated juxtaposition of materials, Betty TK1 highlights the sleek sensibility of wood through a notorious contrast with its distinctive, tasteful linen webbing seat. Not only does the webbing add comfort and provide a unique visual element, it allows the lacquered solid wood frame to shine, and highlights the true excellence of this timeless material. The single-piece wooden frame is deceptively lightweight yet inherently stable, and the design is stackable for added convenience. Frame available in black, twilight, and maroon. AAPA Ritva Puotila Like stepping on a cloud! Aapa is a beautiful, hand-tufted rug, made of a combination of wool and linen. Soft and enticing, Aapa provides exceptional relief and offers tired feet some much needed comfort after a long day. Aapa’s innovative structure allows you to leave a soft footprint wherever you step, as if you were walking on sand. Available in white, stone, warm-grey, black-gold, or black. Aapa is made-to-measure and can be square, rectangular, or round. LARSEN DAYBED CRD Verzelloni Simple, modern, and chic, it’s impossible not to fall in love with Verzelloni’s Larsen Daybed. This piece inevitably beckons you to lie down and rest, and when upholstered in linen, offers a wondrous and magnificently comfortable experience. Whether you’re a seasoned design enthusiast or simply looking to introduce stylish designs to your space, the Larsen Daybed is versatile enough to meet every need. And while this design looks enticing all on its own, it pairs even more perfectly with its natural counterparts, the Larsen Armchair and Larsen Modular Sofa.
