"The concept is beautifully simple. The furniture, which includes benches, chairs, and stools, is built from just two materials: steel tubes and multilayer flax fabric. That's it. No glue, no bolts, no complicated hardware that you'll lose during your third apartment move. The flax fabric wraps around the tubular steel frame, creating a self-supporting structure that stays stable through clever engineering rather than industrial adhesives."
"What makes this particularly clever is the fabric itself. The team at Fraunhofer developed a specialized multilayer flax textile with open constructions and integrated channels that interact with the steel tubes to create varying levels of stiffness. This means you get support exactly where you need it without adding extra materials or complexity. The seating surface can even be customized with a lamellar structure that provides additional cushioning for those of us who like to linger."
"Let's be real about furniture for a second. Most of us want pieces that look great, last forever, and don't cost as much as a vacation. But we also want to be able to move without having to hire a team of professionals just to disassemble the bookshelf. Oh, and while we're at it, can it also not destroy the planet? Apparently, that's been too much to ask. Until now."
LinumTube is a modular seating system made from steel tubes and multilayer flax fabric that eliminates glue, bolts, and complex hardware. The flax textile wraps the tubular steel frame to create a self-supporting structure stabilized by engineered geometry rather than adhesives. A specialized multilayer flax textile with open constructions and integrated channels interacts with the tubes to generate varying stiffness levels, providing targeted support. The seating surface offers a customizable lamellar structure for added cushioning. The system is fully reversible and designed for quick assembly, disassembly, rearrangement, and easy transport, enabling reconfiguration and demounting without tools.
