European Linen showcases its excellence at Proposte 2026

Over the course of three days, Proposte brings together designers, editors and interior architects eager to explore the trends shaping tomorrow’s interiors.

Within this premium setting, European linen stands out as a material of choice. Valued for its natural origin, functional and environmental performance, and rich creative potential, it continues to attract a growing number of industry professionals.

Ten certified members will be exhibiting at Proposte, including six Masters of LINEN™ certified weavers: Libeco (Belgium), B&T Textilia (Belgium), Deltracon (Belgium), Nelen & Delbeke (Belgium), Martinelli Ginetto (Italy), and Tessitura Enrico Sironi (Italy).

From sophisticated jacquards and textured constructions to blends with wool or alpaca and innovative finishing techniques, these companies exemplify linen’s technical expertise and illustrate the technical know-how of linen. Their presence reflects a dynamic sector, capable of seamlessly combining heritage with textile innovation.

Also featured are four Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certified companies, representing excellence at the upstream end of the value chain - from cultivation through to processing: Clerici Tessuto & C (Italy), Fasac (Italy), Penelope (Italy), and Ratti (Italy).

Throughout the year, the Alliance also promotes its digital platform, Linen & Hemp Dream Lab, an online resource showcasing over 1,400 products. A strategic extension of the trade fair, it provides global professionals with streamlined access to the latest innovations in linen and hemp.

The European Linen “Masters of” certifications now embody a strong, shared identity. They guarantee controlled European production, based on origin and traceability, as well as technical properties.

• The origin and traceability certification is now Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ and sees its crop scutching standard (first stage of transformation) enhanced with new audits on claims and commitments concerning sustainable practices.
• The historic Masters of LINEN™ certification, a symbol of European textile excellence, keeps its name but adopts a new logo, a new baseline and a reinforced promise, and develops a standard focusing on both the company and the product.
