The traditional kitchen and toilet towel in “poor man’s suit” in classic white or blue. The sturdy napkin for everyday and party.

This towel fabric is a so-called sieve weave (the pattern looks like a sieve – but only appears after washing!), woven to order for a guesthouse in Järvsö in the 60s.

The weaving method is also called poor man’s cloth, a weaving method that produced a fabric that looks much more exclusive than it really is.

The weaving method is very old and produces a highly absorbent and durable fabric, which has always been used for towels and tablecloths. The fabric is most beautiful if you mangle it, then the shiny linen threads in the weft are emphasized, against the duller warp of cotton. The quality only becomes more beautiful the more you wear the fabric.

One of the contradictions of the fabric is that as towels it gives a slightly old-fashioned robust character, while as a well-mangled tablecloth it gives an exclusive feeling of “Oh my, what’s this?”.

50% cotton, 50% linen of bleached quality with touches of bleached and blue yarn respectively.

Shrinks about 7% on first wash. Machine wash recommended, preferably 90 degrees after heavy soiling, otherwise 40 or 60 degrees. Can be ironed or mangled. As towels, it is enough if you hang them smooth after washing and then fold them. Stains are removed with linseed oil soap. Sold in four variants, as towels, as napkins and as tablecloths.

Tile beveled edges 15x15cm 0,5 sqm

The Gysinge tile is a beveled tile for bathrooms and kitchens of a model that was common in Sweden in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several Swedish tile manufacturers existed at the time, including Ekeby Bruk in Uppsala.

What distinguishes Swedish tiles from international models is that Swedish tiles are usually square, not rectangular, and that they are available in so many parts, including half-tiles, borders and moldings, that a complete set can be made. The tiles are thick and strong and have a vibrant surface precisely because they are handmade and fired in old kilns. The glazing is also done by hand, which further enhances the rustic impression. All tiles are labeled “Gysinge” on the back.

MOUNTING The wall brackets have sturdy iron screws (3.5 mm) that are carefully screwed into the wall. The hooks and brackets are then screwed onto the bar. Last of all, tighten the screws that prevent the bar from rolling.

TIP The bar can be shortened by sawing it off. It can also be connected to another pole if you want a longer version. In this case, you should use a so-called coupling sleeve and place a wall bracket over the joint.
