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.

Flower pot red

Hand-turned flower pot with barrel of traditional variety. Red flower pot that was developed as a special product for Christmas a few years ago but is now part of the regular range.

Flowerpot production became an industry and mass production in Sweden around the turn of the century 1900. Before then, all pots were made by hand, as were the saucers. The profession was called pottery.

Typical of handmade pots is that you can see the potter’s hands in the ware. The imprints from the hand-turning process create low ridges on the surface and show through on the outside. A hand-turned pot is therefore not as smooth as a machine pot, it is more personal and has more life and variety.

A detail that also reveals the real craftsmanship is the soft, rounded rim at the top. It can certainly be made by machine, but it will never be as soft and individual as on a hand-turned pot.

MATERIAL Made of solid brass or in nickel-plated version. Polished shiny surface, but not lacquered. The brass darkens over time if you do not polish it.

MOUNTING The wall brackets have sturdy iron screws (3.5 mm) that are screwed (carefully!) into the wall. The hooks and brackets are then screwed onto the pole. Last of all, you 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, a wall bracket should be placed over the joint.
