Schladminger and Dachstein Upholstery Fabrics

Our Schladminger and Dachstein wool upholstery fabrics represent traditional craftsmanship, natural wool quality and versatile applications in interior design.

Original Schladminger loden is our most distinctive upholstery fabric: traditional, full of character and an eye-catcher not only on the classic Austrian jacket.

Dachstein upholstery fabric is still produced on our 130-year-old hammer fulling mill. Similar to Schladminger, it is slightly lighter in weight and available in a wider range of colours.

Our loden fabrics are made from high-quality new wool and produced in our Steiner1888 loden manufactory in Austria. Wool is a renewable natural fibre and is valued for its exceptional longevity.

Care of Wool Upholstery Fabrics

Loden loves fresh air – and a little attention. Our wool upholstery fabrics are made from pure, natural virgin wool. Thanks to the wool’s natural lanolin content, the fibres are naturally dirt-repellent and easy to care for. Regular airing is often enough to help the wool regenerate and maintain its fresh appearance.

  • Air regularly: Fresh, slightly humid air supports the natural regeneration of the wool fibres.
  • Vacuum gently: Dust and loose particles can be carefully removed using a soft upholstery attachment.
  • Treat stains promptly: Blot liquids carefully rather than rubbing them in. Many stains can be removed with a damp cloth.
  • Professional cleaning: For heavier soiling, we recommend professional cleaning.

Should a larger mishap occur, we are happy to help. On our care page you will find detailed care instructions, a comprehensive stain guide and answers to frequently asked questions – from proper storage to moth prevention.
