Linum has designed, developed and produced high quality textiles for more than 40 years. The company was founded in 1966 by Sven Kempe after he travelled in India. During his time there, the idea of helping people to develop through their own work was born. Today, the desire to support the development in southern India and to combine this with the best of Swedish design, is the foundation for our company culture and philosophy.

For example, you can find Linum textiles at Printemps in France, Selfridges in the UK and La Rinascente in Italy.
