Woven in Belgium using time-honoured techniques, our three new linens Meuse, Dender and Ancre bring a considered range of texture, and durability to our upholstery offering. The Lucy collection introduces a contemporary splayed-arm design, defined by its sense of openness and effortless movement.
Ancre is a 100% pure Belgian linen, distinguished by its beautifully chunky, tactile weave that exudes artisanal charm and character. Rich in texture yet refined in appearance, it is the ideal choice for interiors that embrace natural materials, from relaxed coastal schemes to soft, layered contemporary rooms.
With a 30,000 Martindale rub count, Ancre is perfectly suited to residential upholstery, combining visual appeal with everyday practicality. Woven in Belgium to the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship, this linen reflects centuries of expertise in flax production. Linen is one of the most durable and sustainable fibres in the world, and when paired with Belgian weaving heritage, it results in a fabric known for exceptional comfort, quality, and longevity.
Ancre has undergone the Sanfor Airo process, a refined finishing technique that combines sanforisation and advanced softening. The sanforisation process pre-shrinks the fabric, ensuring stability and preventing shrinkage or distortion over time, while an innovative air-based softening method gently tumbles the linen to create an exceptionally soft handle and a luxurious drape.
As with all natural linens, subtle colour variations may occur, a hallmark of true flax and the unique Belgian climate that shapes each harvest, adding depth and individuality to every piece.
Dender is a soft, durable stonewashed linen, celebrated for its fresh yet gently lived-in character and exceptional craftsmanship. Sourced from Belgium, a region renowned worldwide for producing the finest flax, Dender embodies the quality, comfort, and subtle sophistication that Belgian Linen is known for. The stonewashing process carried out using traditional techniques, pre-washes the fabric to create a wonderfully supple handle and a relaxed, slightly faded appearance, giving it character from the outset.
With an outstanding 100,000 Martindale rub count, Dender is remarkably hard-wearing, making it perfectly suited to high-traffic commercial interiors as well as busy family homes where durability and elegance must work hand in hand.
Linen is one of the most durable and sustainable fibres in the world, and when combined with the highest standards of Belgian craftsmanship, the result is a fabric with exceptional longevity and comfort. Naturally hypoallergenic and thermoregulating, Dender keeps interiors feeling breathable, fresh, and comfortable throughout the year. Its timeless appeal makes it versatile across a wide range of interiors, from crisp modern schemes to classic, understated spaces.
Meuse is a stonewashed 100% pure Belgian linen with a lived-in feel that captures the rustic charm of natural flax. Its subtly speckled, irregular surface creates a softly patinated appearance with subtle tonal variation, giving the fabric depth and movement.
With a Martindale rub count of 22,000, Meuse is well suited to residential upholstery projects, offering the ideal balance of durability and comfort. Woven in Belgium using time-honoured techniques and the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship, Meuse is beautifully soft, effortlessly stylish, and exceptionally durable. Perfect for casual, understated interiors, modern rustic schemes and easy family living, Meuse brings a warm, timeworn elegance to any piece it upholsters.
Its durability ensures it is designed to age gracefully, developing even greater depth and beauty over time. Natural colour variations are a hallmark of authentic flax and traditional processing, adding individuality and ensuring each piece upholstered in Meuse feels uniquely charming.
The Lucy sofa is a simple, sleek design defined by its clean, refined silhouette and elegantly balanced proportions. The splayed-out arms introduce a welcoming openness, creating an inviting experience to any living space.
Lucy features supportive pillow-back feather and down cushions, a cushioned seat and a choice of medium or large seat depths. Made using traditional upholstery methods, with double cone springs hand lashed together forming the highest quality upholstery base, followed by layers of hessian, horsehair and cotton to maximise comfort and longevity.
Customise the design with a tailored skirt for a more structured look or layer with scatter cushions for formal settings. Lucy especially suits linen upholstery, where the natural texture and gentle drape of the fabric enhance the relaxed character of the sofa. The splayed arms provide the perfect canvas for showcasing pattern and directional fabrics, while refined upholstery details such as piping can be used to accentuate the arm angle and enhance the overall design.
The Lucy chair is a timeless splayed arm design characterised by clean lines and balanced proportions. The gently angled arms create an open profile that gives the chair a relaxed yet structured appearance.
Designed for comfort as well as practicality, Lucy features a feather and down pillow-back cushion, a cushioned seat, and an option of a medium or large seat depth to provide supportive seating. Made using traditional upholstery methods, with double cone springs hand lashed together forming the highest quality upholstery base, followed by layers of hessian, horsehair and cotton to maximise comfort and longevity. The chair can be used as a standalone piece with a run up footstool or paired with the Lucy sofa to create a coordinated arrangement.
Lucy can be customised with either a tailored skirt for a more structured finish or in relaxed linen fabrics, where the natural texture and drape complement the design.
