Denmark and Japan united in Damask

April 30 we will launch the first organic bedlinen in the in our Kids productline. Arne Jacobsen used a delicate line to draw the playful curves that beautifully complete the new bed¬ding. The sketch for YPSILON was drawn in the 1950s, when the trend for geometric shapes arose.

From 26 March our GJD OUTDOOR collection 2012 is available. The collection consist of the damask tablecloth GJD POPPY designed by Nina Ferlov. The damask tablecloth is woven in the familiar damask quality and, as a completely new feature, has a stain-repellent surface which is neither seen nor felt. The collection also features the fresh, striped design GJD LINE in bright summer colours which are available as tea towels, placemats, runners and cushions.

The winter chill may still bite our cheeks, but the days are getting longer and there’s a vague hint of spring in the air. To mark the coming of spring, GEORG JENSEN DAMASK is launching a new design in the GJD product line called GJD STRIPES. The beautiful new tea towels bring the joy of spring into your home, livening up the kitchen with their light, fresh hues while we wait for brighter spring days to arrive.

GEORG JENSEN DAMASK gives Christmas a warm welcome with wonderful products to adorn decorative Christmas tables, bring happiness when given as presents and provide warmth during the cold winter. The classic and popular CHRISTMAS TABLECLOTH will be launched in two new colours; John Becker’s retro-style tea towels have been given a touch of Christmas and the popular MEADOW bed linen is launched in new, inviting and beautiful colours. Last, but not least, New Year is celebrated with the CRYSTAL damask tablecloth in two new colours.

In 1963 the textile designer John Becker (1915-1986) designed the tea towel which launched GEORG JENSEN DAMASK’s designed tea towel production. Becker’s deliberate check pattern and stripes were a substantial success and ever since, tea towels created by designers have been a large and stable part of the product range. The 2011-version of BECKER 63 will be available in the colours Brown Sugar, Peppermint, Candyfloss and Green Tea. These colours have a strong retro touch, and the old archives were consulted in order to match the original shades as closely as possible.
