Danish Textile Prints 100 Years of Craft and Design

Forthcoming for preorder, September 2025

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.

This handsome, clothbound book explores the history and techniques of the craft, spanning from the early attempts of Danish artisans to transfer patterns and motifs using printing blocks to screenprinting, still practiced in independent workshops, as well as digital prints produced either industrially or on a jet-ink printer.
Based on the extensive collection of printed fabrics from the Designmuseum Danmark, the book highlights a wide range of modernist textile printers, including Marie Gudme Leth, Helga Foght, Ruth Hull, Dorte Raaschou, Ingeborg Cock-Clausen, Axel Salto and Grete Ehs Østergaard, alongside more recent works by a selection of contemporary textile artists.
Author Kirsten Toftegaard is the head of the fashion and textile collection at Designmuseum Danmark.
