Sanny de Zoete, Antique & Design Linen

Grid 2001

Dutch design, Irish linen

This design by the renowned artist Peter Struycken is inspired by ancient geometric patterns in table linen, the so-called pellenpatronen. Sanny asked the artist to design it especially for her own collection of table linen. The basis of the design are wide and narrow stripes crossing each other to create squares and rectangles. By mirroring and turning the basic pattern it is enlarged to match the size of plates and cutlery. This ingenious design shows a different aspect of the basic pattern in each corner of the table cloth, together with the borders of the cloth a wonderful frame is created.

What is special about this design is that the patterns are not repeated or mirrored in the same way, something that was essential in the past. Technically, the design of Grid 2001 would have been impossible to produce. The napkin also has four different corners. The Grit 2001 design is ideal for people who like modern and minimalist interiors.

Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima received a set of table linen Grid 2001 as a wedding gift from the editors and readers of the magazine Vorsten Royale. The set consists of a table cloth of 3.60 m x 2.75 m with 8 matching napkins. As with all linen damask from Sanny’s own collection, this set was also woven especially for the wedding couple.
