Linen fabric is made from fibres derived from the flax plant. It has a naturally textured appearance and is known for being breathable and relatively cool to the touch.
In furniture upholstery, linen can create a relaxed, natural and sophisticated appearance. However, its performance characteristics depend on the specific weave, blend, finishing and upholstery construction.
Linen can wrinkle more easily than some synthetic fabrics and may require more care in high-use environments.
