Kauniste 60s and 70s inspired tea towels

Posted on | Leave a comment

Kauniste

This charming tea towel design is taken from the first collection of Finnish company Kauniste. 

They've looked back to the 60s and 70s to gain inspiration for their designs, produced with the aim for them to be cherished and kept for the next fifty or so years. This Maatilda depicts a rural scene, while the range also includes a tea towel with a depiction of a well-packed kitchen shelf as well as a vegetable pattern that would fit in well with the Linea salad bowl featured yesterday. Each design is printed in bright colours onto a linen and cotton mix.

Each tea towel costs 17 euros.

Linea vibrant veg salad bowl

Linea bowl

This vibrant veg salad bowl is a much quirky addition to the Linea range. 

Instead of the very contemporary looking designs I often associate with that range, the brightly coloured illustrations on this stoneware salad bowl give it a retro feel. It reminds me of the neat 1970s designs of Gemuse by Graziela among other things, and hopefully similar items will be added to the range.  

Snap this design up quickly before it goes – it costs £20.
