Solberg Spinderi

Solveig Kitchen Towel 1958

Kr 300

Solveig is a small patterned textile originally designed in 1958, taken from Solberg's fantastic archive of historical textiles. By using the bindings and pattern, but dyed with completely new colors, Solveig is as decorative and contemporary today as when the textile was originally designed.

A/S Solberg Spinderi was founded in Drammen in 1818, and is one of the earliest industries in Norway. They utilized the waterfall in the Solberg River for their production, and throughout their more than 200-year history have delivered high-quality textile products. As early as 1821, they were able to offer the first machine-spun yarn, and in addition, they were early adopters of both pension schemes for their employees and secured housing for their employees. In 2007, it was decided to stop all production and close down the weaving mill in Norway. Since then, Solberg Spinderi has spun and woven its products in Portugal, but continues to have its administration in Norway and uses talented Norwegian designers such as Sara Polmar and Victoria Günzler to develop new products.
