Lapuan Kankurit Viiva Towel

The VIIVA pattern is a design classic by Dora Jung from 1959. Jung (1906–1980) was a bold innovator, a pioneer of textile art, and a developer of weaving techniques, with an exceptional sense of aesthetics, colors, and shapes. Her designs garnered significant awards both nationally and internationally. Jung was inspired by the idea of creating a more beautiful everyday life for Finnish homes, and her patterns were woven at the Tampella factory into almost hand-made products. Now, more than 60 years later, Dora Jung’s linen textiles are being revived at Lapuan Kankurit weaving mill, perfectly suited for both everyday and festive table settings today.

"Dora Jung was known for not compromising, and that he called himself always best. Dora Jung constantly search for new opportunities to express their thoughts and feelings through tekstiiliensä. He questioned the materials and weaving limitations and was not afraid to seize the seemingly impossible challenges."
