Description
Some objects bring light into a kitchen, even on a grey morning. This kitchen towel red and yellow is one of them. The pomegranate motif bursts across it in repeated forms, hand block-printed with wooden blocks, with the slight irregularity that betrays the human gesture and gives block printing all its value.
The pomegranate draws on an ancient imagery, dear to Mediterranean and Eastern textiles. A symbol of abundance, this fruit of countless seeds dresses the cotton with a frank vitality. The warm red asserts itself without harshness, tempered by touches of yellow that recall summer sun and southern terraces. The design is created in France, then printed in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where the craft is handed down through generations.
Like any good kitchen linen, this cotton tea towel is first of all made to serve. The cotton is absorbent and hard-wearing, it dries glasses without leaving lint, wipes dishes, helps out by the sink and takes repeated washing in its stride. Over time the fabric grows softer while keeping its colour and its shape.
But this kitchen towel red and yellow does not stop at use. Folded on the worktop or hanging from the oven rail, it brings a joyful note of colour to the room. It works with plain white china, worn metal cutlery, a sunlit kitchen as well as a plainer interior it comes to wake up.
It is the kind of linen that makes you want to cook, to invite people, to lay the table even midweek. You can pair it with the matching Grenade tablecloth and napkins, carrying the generous spirit of the table through to the kitchen.
It also makes an easy, warm gift, for anyone who loves beautiful materials and characterful everyday objects. An artisanal, colourful and hard-wearing piece, halfway between a tool and a decoration. Because a beautiful table often begins in a kitchen you love to spend time in.
