Alea Silk Bed Linen by Seidenweber

Description

“Alea Silk Bed Linen by Seidenweber”

The Jacobean pattern originates from 17th-century England: lush leaves, stylized blossoms, intertwining tendrils – nature viewed through the eyes of the Stuart era. Alea takes up this design language and weaves it in two-tone silk. The richness of detail demands much from the Jacquard looms – and rewards with a design that reveals ever new details up close. Historically informed, artisanally sophisticated, visually complex yet serene.

Four finishing styles – one standard

Every Seidenweber bedding is available in four versions that differ in the type of finishing. Basic stands for simple, clean finishing without additional details. Classic adds a fine piping along the edges – a subtle feature that gives the cover contour. Elegance features a stitched standing seam that gives the fabric structure and presence. Superior represents the highest level: an inset standing seam that frames the bedding. The choice of finish does not change the fabric, but the way it presents itself.

Silk – the queen of fabrics

Silk is certainly one of the oldest textile fibers, yet it has never been as current and modern as it is today. The culture of silk has accompanied humanity for thousands of years, and this queen of fibers cannot be replaced by anything in modern times. There is the unique feel, the sense of well-being that silk creates on our skin. The organic structure of silk is almost uncannily similar to the structure of human skin. Silk lets the skin breathe, silk stimulates the receptors on our skin. That’s why it’s cool in summer and wonderfully warm in winter. And silk is a blessing – not only for people with neurodermatitis.

The weaving mill – the last of its kind

Silk has been woven in Plauen, Saxony, since the days of the German Empire. The Plauen silk mill is one of the last fully integrated manufactories in Europe—and the last to truly master weaving silk in Jacquard patterns. Floral ornaments, paisley designs, baroque textures: what is created here is woven, not printed. The difference lies in the depth. Woven patterns live with the light; they change, they have substance. Nearly a century of experience goes into every piece—knowledge passed from hand to hand and preserved within the weave itself. When you touch Seidenweber bedding, you touch that history.

Care Instructions

Silk items should be washed separately, if possible inside out, on a delicate cycle without any additional load, at 30°C using recommended silk detergents such as Tenestar. Silk and silk blends are not suitable for tumble dryers or mangles. When drying outdoors, do not expose silk items to direct sunlight. Silk laundry can be ironed slightly damp at a maximum of 110°C.
– Please never spray silk with perfume or deodorant
– Please do not wash silk with bleach
– Please do not dampen silk with water when ironing
– Do not rub individual stains out with water; wash the entire item instead
– Please iron silk from the reverse side
– Please do not wring silk

Silk products can be cleaned by hand wash without damaging the silk. It is best to use a mild soap or a special silk shampoo such as Tenestar. Soak the silk in lukewarm water for about 3–5 minutes.
Wash dark silk or printed silk only briefly in a cold hand bath; please do not soak. During this time, it is recommended to move the fabric only gently back and forth.
Remove the silk from the water after a maximum of 5 minutes. Rinse the silk in cold water with a teaspoon of wine vinegar to remove any soap residue. Then roll the silk in a dry towel to draw the remaining moisture out of the fabric. For dark or printed silk, please use the towel in multiple layers. Then lay the silk flat and gently straighten the corners.

Silk should generally be ironed slightly damp and inside out. Do not iron silk too hot. Silk is an organic fabric, a protein compound—similar to our hair. Too much heat only causes damage.
