Pure sheep wool: a true jack-of-all-trades with a story behind it
Lehner loves 100% wool - so it's hardly surprising that we are an advocate for rugs made of pure new wool. Our enthusiasm for virgin sheep's wool as a raw material is based on its unique properties: virgin wool is sustainable, renewable, self-cleaning, regulates climate and moisture, traps pollutants and is 100% compostable. What sounds like a high-tech fibre is pure nature with a long story of tradition to tell.
Renewable raw material
Sheep's wool is a renewable raw material. All wool for Lehner rugs is selected according to ecological standards and contains no insecticides.
Self-cleaning
Sheep's wool is self-cleaning. This is because it naturally contains lanolin. This natural wool wax keeps the fibre vital and protects it from heavy soiling.
Regulates the living climate
Sheep's wool absorbs up to 33% of its own weight in moisture from the room air and releases it again when the environment is dry. In this way, it has a regulating effect on the living climate.
100% recyclable
FELICE rugs are made of 100 % natural fibres. This means they are 100% recyclable and in this way also make a contribution to the environment.
Handmade vs. industrially produced rugs
Knotted, woven, tufted - there are many ways to make a rug. Each manufacturing option can be handmade, or industrially produced. At Lehner, we weave our rugs and have been doing so since 1969, handcrafting your unique rug on our antique looms. We love our traditional craft, but we also love to reinvent ourselves over and over again.

FELICE [fəˈliːs] - Individuality from a designer hand
We developed the FELICE modular system in collaboration with the young textile designer Anna Mooren. Anna developed rugs with character that give every room more personality, the pieces represent timeless design classics as well as expressive art. You can combine individual modules to create your very own rug and you can do so over and over again.
