  • Design

    Svenskt Tenn's placemats are available in several prints suitable for everyday use as well as for special occasions. The placemats are sold in a set of two. The backside is covered with grey flocked paper.

    The Magnolia textile is from the English textile company GP & J Baker, whose designs were often based on traditional historical prints. Estrid Ericson began buying textiles from them as early as the 1930s.

    This pattern was designed in 1912 by William Turner, drawing heavily from the tradition of Chinese hand-painted wallpapers.  Turner had been studying Chinese painting for several years, attracted by the flat decorative arrangements and subtle colourings of bird and flower pictures.  His challenge was to convert the imagery of single panels into repeated structures, and to bring the number of colours into a practicable range for block printing. This was achieved by careful balance of visual interests that keep the eye moving from bird to flower to branch.

    GP & J Baker/Svenskt Tenn

    Svenskt Tenn developed this design using GP & J Baker's fabric.

    GP & J Baker is a family-run company founded in 1884 by brothers George Percival and James Baker. Together with their father they travelled around the Far East and Asia purchasing designs, textiles, sketches and thousands of pattern books that are today in the Baker’s sizeable textile archives. Svenskt Tenn became one of Baker’s first customers in Sweden when Josef Frank, inspired by Baker’s designs, introduced the company to Estrid Ericson in the 1930s.

  • Care instructions

    The placemat cannot be used for plates and saucepans directly from the stove or oven. To clean the surface, wipe the placemat with a slightly damp cloth. Never rinse the placemat under running water, as the lamination is sensitive to moisture. Avoid contact with wet surfaces on the underside as the colour from the flocked paper can rub off.
