Description
Dora Jung (1906–1980) was known as a bold innovator, a pioneer of textile art, and a developer of weaving techniques. She possessed a unique sense of aesthetics, an exceptional understanding of colors and shapes, and the skill to work with the finest qualities of linen. Her designs earned the most prestigious national and international awards in the field.
The idea of bringing beauty into the everyday lives of ordinary Finnish homes inspired her work. Among her most famous small damask designs are Ruusut (Roses), Anemone, and Prinsessat (Princesses). In 1961, Dora Jung designed the Anemone small tablecloth, which reflects a Japanese-inspired and sophisticated color palette. She believed that a square tablecloth looked more elegant on a round table.
More than sixty years later, Dora Jung’s stunning linen textiles are being brought back to life at Lapuan Kankurit weaving mill. Their style, patterns, and colors perfectly suit both everyday use and festive table settings today. Be sure to explore other design classics by Dora Jung!
Traceable natural materials
We love flax fibre, as it is a breathable and durable material – as well as one of the cleanest natural fibres in the world. Because we want our products to have long lifecycles, we pay special attention to the quality and production of our linen fibre: the Masters of Linen–certified warp and weft yarn we use is made of 100 % traceable European long staple flax. The yarns have been spun and dyed in the EU area according to the REACH regulations.
Did you know that the European cultivation of flax binds more than 300 000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions from the air per year?
Own transparent production
The most significant part of the production is done by the fourth generation of weavers in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. We want to be responsible for the production of our products ourselves, starting from the yarn all the way to the finished product. The product design, material purchases, loom programming and warping as well as the pre-work stages, weaving and fabric inspection are done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. The sewing is done in our subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in our own sewing department in Lapua. The product finishing is done in our finishing plant in Lapua, Finland.
Thanks to owning our production, we are able to design our products and processes so that our ecological footprint stays as small as possible.
