| linen sheeting on the South Pole |
| You'll be in good company with this sheeting. The scientists studying climate change at the Princess Elisabeth research station in Antarctica use Vence duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases in timeless, neutral colors.
Besides keeping the scientists warm and comfortable, Libeco linen was chosen because of its quality and durability as well as the inherent "greeness" of flax. A first on the pole, the station runs entirely on renewable energy sources and has no CO2 emissions, reducing the ecological footprint of the station to an absolute minimum.
 For a casual lived in look, the scientists can use the sheets right out of the dryer; pressed flat, the sheets will feel smooth and crisp. Whether they iron or not, the sheets will become softer and softer over time.

 linen: a fabric woven from the woody flax fibers of the Linum plant. Flax, a “green crop”, grows naturally without a lot of extra chemicals, pesticides or water and almost all parts of the plant are used — from fabric, flax seed and linseed oil to bank notes. Linen, one of the oldest textile fibers, is two to three times stronger than cotton. Also, linen breathes and insulates — it keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Initially, linen is a bit stiff, but will grow softer with each washing. The finest linen comes from northern Europe.
