New: Linen textiles from a traditional weaving mill on Lake Steinhude

Products made from natural materials allow you to bring nature into your home. That's why I've long been interested in natural materials. Whether it's building materials, furniture, paints, beautiful objects, or even textiles.

For a long time, I was searching for woven linen textiles because I so appreciate the material, and by chance I stumbled upon the Seegers & Sohn linen weaving mill on Lake Steinhude. More precisely, during the Open Heritage Day, where I was able to visit the mill (and enjoy a lovely piece of cake in the in-house café afterward).

I was fascinated by the old looms, the archive with over 30,000 punched cards for every imaginable pattern, and the quality of the textiles woven there. Everything is entirely analog and made with time-honored traditional craftsmanship. The weaving mill was founded in 1765, making it possibly the oldest weaving mill in Germany. Still family-owned today, the old factory building was lovingly renovated a few years ago, and a large public showroom and café were incorporated.

Seegers & Sohn primarily produces table linens for exclusive hotels and restaurants, as well as for special commissions, such as dinners at Bellevue Palace (featuring a woven German eagle). Even the table linens for the wedding of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1947 came from the weaving mill on Lake Steinhude.

In addition to these many special commissioned pieces, Seegers & Sohn also has its own collection of home-woven products under the name "Leinenfabrik." I've compiled a selection of my favorites on-site, which are now available in my shop. Starting with simple floral cushions and classic natural-colored placemats .
