Danish designer Gry Fager has designed a new range of tableware for Normann Copenhagen, inspired by traditional kitchen textiles. Called Mormor, the range includes plates, buttering boards, eggcups, a milk jug, a sugar bowl and a decanter. The inspirations for the series are the patterns found on dish cloths, teatowels and floor cloths.

Normann Copenhagen spotted Gry Fager’s design even before she completed her training at the Danish Design School in 2008. With the introduction of the Mormor series it is the first time that Gry Fager has had her designs put into production.

Gry says:”I really like combining different things. What motivates me is developing good ideas for everyday things which people enjoy using and having in their homes. To me the aesthetic is a matter of course and its function is a must. With Mormor, the kitchen is the place where everything starts, the central nervous system of the house where people all gather” “I have been inspired by the atmosphere and the character of the kitchen, particularly older kitchens from my grandmother’s time and I have transferred the kitchen clichés into a modern context.”
