Design: Bodil Bødtker-Næss
The iconic motif on the placemat celebrates Christmas as the season of goodwill and is a nostalgic signature design in the damask collection. The placemat is equally suitable for everyday Christmas cheer, Advent celebrations and Christmas parties.
Bodil Bødtker-Næss, who was one the inner-circle of textile designers at Georg Jensen Damask in the 1970s, designed the motif. She was also responsible for the classic Easter design from the same period. The braided Christmas hearts and stylised spruce twigs have represented the quintessence of Christmas atmosphere for more than 40 years and the design is an essential part of Christmas in many Danish homes.
The classic colour combination of Christmas red and gold has a special place in the hearts of many Danes and has been part of our collection since its introduction in 1975. With its beautiful simplicity, the placemat upholds the original colour combination of Yuletide tradition. Matching napkins woven in linen complete the expression.
The design is also available as
tablecloths,
runners and matching
napkins.
