LINN-SUI, from the symbol of the KING (union of people with elective
affinities), came about from the idea to produce and sell
a line of bio-ecological furnishings that promote healthy
sleeping.
Dynamic Company from Arezzo made up of 5 partners who have
decided to produce and sell articles that promote healthy
sleeping: Luigi contributes
his experience and research into materials for futons; Antonella chooses colours and fabrics; Riccardo is the designer and art director of the company and does
research into forms and materials; Saverio,
the administrator, transforms impulses into healthy economics; Francesco optimises
the organisation of the work within the company.
LINN-SUI has been active since February 1994 and
has presented its label and products at the most important
shows and fairs in the health market (SANA - Bologna;
GIARDINO DI GAIA - Florence; Abitare il Tempo - Verona)
and in the interior design market (Il Salone del Mobile
- Florence, MIAS - Florence, Expocasa - Turin, Fiera d'Oltremare
- Naples, Spaziocasa - Vicenza, Fierarredo - Bologna, Moacasa
- Rome, Italiarreda - Arezzo)
LINN-SUI international has brought together its
experience in traditional FUTON materials, fabrics for bio-furnishings and paddings with ongoing research into new materials with
an obviously bio-ecological stamp, such as wood, cotton,
rice paper, varnishes and non toxic glues, to create a new
line of furniture
LINN-SUI proposes a simple line of products for
relaxing and resting:
FUTONS are traditional
japanese mattresses made from layers of untreated cotton
sheets. Cotton fibre, natural thermic insulator, allows
the body to breathe in the summer and keeps it warm in the
winter. The futon is lined in untreated, unbleached cotton
drill, sewn by hand with cotton and hemp. Our futons are
available in traditional sizes but can also be made to measure.
As well as avoiding long storage times this guarantees the
quality of the product which is entirely hand crafted
The NECK-ROLL is
a cushion suited to those who suffer from neck ache. It
is stuffed with buckwheat husks whose movement exerts a
relaxing massaging action on the neck muscles. LINN-SUI
offers the neck roll in canvas or covered in elegant, coloured
linings.
The ZAFU is a round
cushion padded with cotton, used during meditation. It can
also be used as a pouf.
The TATAMI is
a japanese base made from pressed rice straw and bamboo
that can be used in beds or on its own as flooring. LINN-SUI
imports it directly from Japan. LINN-SUI also produces several
kinds of beds as well as bedroom accessories (lamps,
bedside tables, tables and coffee tables) and childrens
furniture such as baby chairs, wardrobes, changing mats,
cradles, cots and high chairs, all made from tested materials
and woden slatted bed bases for the correct use of futons,
with no metal parts and painted using biological paint (DURGA).
The designers who collaborate with LINN-SUI are: Tarshito,
Riccardo Misesti, Nanda Vigo and Gabriele Pezzini.
OUR BEDS can be chosen
from an ever inreasing range, from simple single beds in
deal or beech, wooden jointed without screws, to large oriental
style bed bases, or three quarter sizes made in Italy and
the East exclusively from plantation wood; our SOFA
BEDS are also simple and inexpensive, available
in a variety of models and sizes, they come with wooden
slatted bases for the correct use of the futon (cotton naturally
counter balances humidity and body temperature and therefore
needs constant airing). Sent as kits.
As well as pillows and neck rolls (cushions
for neck ache) you can find beautiful rolled cushions,
large floor poufs, bed heads, shiatsu mattresses, carry-futons for travel, padded in cotton like our
traditional futons and covered in beautiful Designers
Guild fabric that you can choose directly from samples.
LINN-SUI White and Colour is our new line of bio-ecological bed linen: soft, multicoloured, bio-ecological blankets in pure carded wool; large,
soft, ecological cotton sheets; eiderdowns and eiderdown
covers; dressing gowns; kimono; tatami or wooden shoes,
bags and fabric pockets as well as gifts and accessories.
LINN-SUI’S proposals are the result of on going
research; leaving aside the easy, cheap solutions on the
market offered by industrial production methods and looking
to the advantages of a “truly natural”, high quality
product.
