Danish Textile Prints: 100 Years of Craft and Design

Full of vivid patterns and lively designs, this compact clothbound gem is a delightful journey through Danish fabric prints from the 1920s to the present.

The distinct craft of textile printing has played a significant role in defining the internationally renowned Danish modernism movement. Beyond playing with colors and repeating motifs, textile printing is also a tradition that embraces poetry and humor. This volume tells the story of the craft's diversity, highlighting its rich history and artistic significance. At the beginning of the 20th century, the craft of printing on fabric had nearly been forgotten in Denmark. However, by the late 1920s, it was revived as an artisanal practice, primarily a women's craft—something it largely remains today.
