Kr 200

1959 is a classic waffle weave tea towel woven from 100% cotton, designed by textile engineer Bent Georg Jensen, who for many years was at the forefront of Georg Jensen Damask. The towel is perfect whether you want to dry the dishes with it or use it as a hand towel. Feel free to combine it with one of the other fine tea towels from Georg Jensen Damask.

Designer and textile engineer Bent Georg Jensen placed great emphasis on combining quality, aesthetics, function and design in his work. The 1959 kitchen towel can therefore be used as both a dish towel and a tea towel and works well with other kitchen textiles from Georg Jensen Damask. The unique waffle weave ensures optimal drying performance.

With a history that spans generations, Georg Jensen Damask represents unique artisanal quality and timeless aesthetic design that covers all forms of textiles for the home. The story officially started in 1756, when Andreas Jensen married Kirsten Christensdatter. Together they laid the foundation for the Georg Jensen Damask we know today.

The philosophy of the Georg Jensen Damask family was to create democratic and different design products of high quality, with great functionality and beauty. A philosophy they still manage according to. Today, Georg Jensen Damask is a modern textile business, with a modern Scandinavian expression.
