Background
"I dream of working broadly and experimentally with textile craftsmanship, materials, patterns, and colors, as well as contributing quality and beauty to the world."
The tablecloth as a woven work of art
In the spring, mostly unappreciated wildflowers sprout along the Danish ditches. Based on the doctrine "the tablecloth as a woven work of art", the designer has wanted to create a bond between the flora of the roadside and the home, and she has therefore created a series of damask tablecloths for Georg Jensen Damask (GJD). The damask technique traces its roots back to the year 1756, when GJD was founded in Kolding; since that time the company has produced quality textiles with a long lifespan. The pattern stands out because the damask binding creates glossy and matte surfaces in which the light is either reflected or refracted.
