{"product_id":"mark-alexander-linden","title":"Mark Alexander | Linden","description":"\u003cp\u003eLinden is a plain linen with a close, slightly dense weave, and it sits at the quieter end of what we would specify for a whole room. The yarn is fine rather than heavily slubbed, so the surface reads as even from a short distance and only shows its irregularity when you are near it. A small amount of polyamide is spun through the blend, which gives the cloth some resilience and stops the weave moving under wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is 90% LI linen with 10% PA polyamide, woven to a 140 centimetre width with no repeat to match. It is rated 50,000 rubs on the Martindale test, severe domestic, which puts it comfortably within reach of everyday upholstery. Two colourways, both neutral: Grey Mist, a cool pale grey, and Pebble, a warmer stone shade half a step towards beige. There is no third option here, so the choice comes down to the room's undertone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use Linden on upholstery first, on a sofa that gets daily use, a pair of armchairs, or a deep window seat, because the rub count and the tight weave can take it. It makes a good curtain too, though it hangs with more body and less drape than a looser linen. Pebble with oak and plaster, Grey Mist with cooler stone and steel. Order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no repeat, so cutting is efficient and seams can go wherever the frame asks. The weave is stable enough to railroad along a long sofa back and avoid a centre seam, which is worth raising with your upholsterer before the cloth is cut. For curtains, interline for weight and let the drops hang for two weeks before the hems are finished. Linen will always relax a little after it goes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90% LI linen, 10% PA polyamide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMartindale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50,000 rubs — severe domestic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upholstery, curtains, blinds, window seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linden, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (Grey Mist, Pebble)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Grey Mist","offer_id":58067500630398,"sku":"M590\/02","price":95.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pebble","offer_id":58067500663166,"sku":"M590\/01","price":95.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Grey Mist","offer_id":58067500695934,"sku":"SAMPLE-M590\/02","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Pebble","offer_id":58067500728702,"sku":"SAMPLE-M590\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/M590-02-linden-grey-mist_02.jpg?v=1789984823","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-linden","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
