When you spill gravy

Mia Strøbech appreciates old handicraft and things that are inherited - for instance cloth napkins.

Mia Strøbech is a modern mother, who has a busy life with very young children, a husband and a recently completed degree from Design School Kolding. But she also likes products with a history and a quality that lets them go down through generations. She has therefore designed a series of cloth napkins in flax which should make us reflect on our common cultural heritage.

- I am fascinated by the time and personality and the hard work that went into these products, and with my collection I would like to present an understated and novel version of the cloth napkins. The napkins are a modern alternative to mass-produced products and they contribute to creating a feeling of community around the dinner table in our busy life, says Mia Strøbech, who has tested the physically demanding and time-consuming work at the Danish Agricultural Museum at Gl. Estrup.

Mia Strøbech has collaborated with the dressmaker’s workroom at the Museum Koldinghus, and the goal of the project has been to help preserve an old craft in Denmark through modern embroidery while appreciating the value of slowness.
