Tray Linnea 20x27 cm

Watercolour by Signe Lindquist, who was born in 1897. It was originally a sketch for her porcelain painting, an art form she devoted herself to for many years. Now, after lying dormant for several decades, her sketches are being brought out of the drawer.

Signe was inspired by illustrations in *Nordens Flora* by Carl Lindman (1856–1928), first published between 1901 and 1905. Botanical illustrations are a genre often found in publications dating back a long way.

Linnaea Borealis was Carl von Linné`s favourite flower. Linnea has symbolic significance in Nordic folklore and literature and is often regarded as a symbol of love, humility and perseverance.

• FSC®-certified wood
• Handcrafted and made in Sweden

We want to manage nature’s resources as carefully as we can! We have therefore chosen to print our trays in Sweden, where they are FSC-certified. 

FSC® – FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL® – is the certification that best and most reliably guarantees that raw materials come from certified suppliers and are traceable. FSC® works to promote responsible forestry that takes both the environment and people into account.

The trays consist of birch veneer sheets that are assembled by hand before being moulded under high pressure and heat together with the design, which is printed on paper. The trays are then protected by a melamine-based surface coating that makes the surface heat-resistant up to 130°C.
