KITCHEN & TABLETOP
A table setting symbolises community. It speaks to everyone in welcome tones, letting each participant know that they are included. A set table is the warm embrace of the gathered company, enveloping and holding them close.
Symbolism of a table setting
A table setting symbolises sharing. Gathered around it, we share not only our time, space and provisions, but also life events, thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears. We laugh light-heartedly and talk deeply. We ask someone to pass the salt to break the ice, we offer a clean napkin to dab away the spilled wine or the spilled tears, we request a bite to experience something new, we volunteer to bring something so someone else doesn’t have to get up. A set table encourages us to contribute just by taking part.

Linen is one of our favourite materials. It is ecological, comfortable on the skin and easy to use.
Linen absorbs moisture effectively: a linen towel can soak moisture up to 20 % of its own weight without feeling wet. The fibre also releases moisture quickly, so the textiles dry fast. Due to the absorption capacity of linen less material is required for the products, which is why our linen towels are so light weight. Some of our bath products feature terrycloth, a pleasantly rough material which improves beneficial blood circulation and pampers the skin.
