Innovative Interior Concepts

Consumers' growing environmental awareness as well as the excellent properties of natural fibers lead to an increasing use of natural raw materials in the manufacturing of textiles.

Please ask for our certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® class 1 (16.0.90034 HOHENSTEIN HTTI) as well as our FSC™-certified (FSC C140662) products.

Applications:

Table cloth linen

Our nonwovens can build the base material for e.g.

  • napkins,
  • place mats, or
  • table runners

and support naturalness on the set table. Thanks to the soft touch and the warm, natural color, linen made of flax fibers are an eye catcher.

Interior design

Besides different types of wallcovering – plain-colored or printed – our sustainable flax nonwovens can be applied as carrier material in different areas:

  • wall covering
  • ceiling panels
  • room dividers
  • acoustic panels

Further applications:

  • packaging industry
  • grafic market

Our XO FLAX PURE and XO LYOCELL PURE material is certified according to Bs1d0 for the European market.

Our XO FLAX PURE and XO LYOCELL PURE materials are certified according to ASTM E84, Class A for the American market.

Base layer for printed wallpaper

As base layer, our nonwoven fabrics made from flax, viscose and lyocell can be printed using rotary or digital printing.

Digital printing can be carried out using aqueous pigment inks from HP Latex, Canon, Mimaki, Durst, Aleph, Epson, and UV-LED inks.

In addition, MIMAKI's waterless pigment transfer printing (TRAPIS) delivers brilliant colors on our wood and plant-based materials.

We take responsibility

The advantages of natural fibers, like flax or hemp, already reflect in their ecological cultivation. For example, does the cultivation of flax require considerably less water in comparison to other natural fibers.* The plants themselves do not make any demands on the soil and thus, do not require any fertilzer. Hemp can even be used as catch crop to prepare the soil for more demanding plants. Growing areas for flax or hemp are located in Europe, making long transportation routes unnecessary in favor of our environment.

Our team has set itself the task of developing sustainable alternatives to traditional products based on PET or PP fibers. Beautiful, functional, and biodegradable**.
