Weave Luxury Press Release

“We fell in love as much with the history of linen as we did these particular patterns which we have selected and are showcasing in our showroom this market,” says Anne Hood, Vice President of Upholstery Fashion for Century Furniture. “Natural and fresh, they speak to me of comfort and quality which is the perfect compliment to what we are doing inside our upholstery.”

In addition to its superb hand and luxurious weight, linen’s intrinsic qualities make it a durable and healthy choice for upholstery. It has the ability to absorb and lose water rapidly absorbing up to 20% moisture without feeling damp. This ability to wick moisture away from our skin makes it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Antimicrobial, static resistant, non-piling, impervious to mildew and moths, while also holding a non-allergenic status—linen is truly a wonder fabric.

;“Our customer’s are creating luxurious environments that can stand the test of time and they are now more health conscious and environmentally aware than they have ever been,” says Alex Shuford, III, VP of Sales and Marketing for Century Furniture. “Linen speaks to both of those needs. Its natural qualities enhance its woven appearance and give it more than just visual appeal—truly an authenticity that goes beyond the surface.”

Indeed some things are perfect—beautiful to the eye, soft to the hand, and better for us and the environment. Cherished as much today as it was 8,000 years ago, it is easy to see how linen continues to weave itself into our definition of luxury.

High Point, NC (October 2010) —Woven from the fiber of the flax plant for over 8,000 years, linen is a fabric with a rich and storied history. Since ancient Egyptian times humankind has revered the qualities of this fabric. The art of weaving linen fiber from the flax plant is itself a craft passed down through generations of artisans.
