The Gysinge tile is a beveled tile for bathrooms and kitchens of a model that was common in Sweden in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several Swedish tile manufacturers existed at the time, including Ekeby Bruk in Uppsala.

What distinguishes Swedish tiles from international models is that Swedish tiles are usually square, not rectangular, and that they are available in so many parts, including half-tiles, borders and moldings, that a complete set can be made. The tiles are thick and strong and have a vibrant surface precisely because they are handmade and fired in old kilns. The glazing is also done by hand, which further enhances the rustic impression. All tiles are labeled “Gysinge” on the back.

0.5sqm/22 tiles in one package. Swedish-made handmade tile. White glazed by hand. Width 15cm, length 15cm, thickness 12mm, thickness edge 9mm.

Instructions for use:

As the tiles are of the old-fashioned type, i.e. thick and hand-glazed, we recommend that you also cut the tiles in the old-fashioned way, i.e. by hand and with a pulley. Feel free to change the pulley several times during the work to keep it sharp.

The tiles are laid in half-joints, i.e. the rectangular tiles are constantly shifted by half their width in relation to the next shift. If there is a gap between them, it is filled with a half tile. The border tile and cornice are also shifted in the same way. The cornice can also be mitered at the corners.

Traditionally, tiles from this period are laid with as little grout as possible. The wider the grout, the more of the effect of the beveled edges is removed. Remember also that the grout should always be white.

Towel unbleached

The traditional kitchen and toilet towel in “poor man’s suit” in classic white, blue, unbleached and red.

50% cotton, 50% linen of bleached quality with elements of bleached and unbleached yarn.

Shrinks about 7% on first wash. Machine wash recommended, preferably 90 degrees after heavy soiling, otherwise 40 or 60 degrees. Can be ironed or mangled. As towels, it is sufficient to hang them smooth after washing and then fold them. Stains are removed with linseed oil soap. Sold as towels in four different colors and as white napkins.

The towels from Gysinge have an interesting history. Until the 1980s, Gysinge was a nursing home run by the county council. To create employment for the 60 or so mentally ill people who stayed at the home, there was, among other things, a weaving room. Many of the inmates spent a long time in the weaving room, which gave them a more meaningful existence – and the county council a cash injection. At the home, real fabrics were woven, not therapy work in the modern, negative sense. For example, all the curtains, tablecloths and napkins were woven for the reopening of Gysinge Manor in the 1960s. This towel fabric is a so-called sieve weave (the pattern looks like a sieve – but only appears after washing!), woven to order for a guesthouse in Järvsö in the 60s. The weaving method is also called poor man’s cloth, a weaving method that produced a fabric that looks much more exclusive than it really is. The weaving method is very old and produces a highly absorbent and durable fabric, which has always been used for towels and tablecloths. The fabric is most beautiful if you mangle it, then the shiny linen threads in the weft are emphasized, against the duller warp of cotton. The quality only becomes more beautiful the more you wear the fabric.

Lion pot small

Before flowerpot production became an industry in Sweden around the turn of the century 1900, there were a number of potters who made flowerpots, among other things. Typical of their handmade pots is that you can see the imprints of the potter’s hands in the ware. The hand-turning process produces low ridges on the surface that are visible both inside and out.

A hand-turned pot is not as rigid as a machine pot, it is more personal and has more life and variety. A detail that also reveals the real craftsmanship is the soft, rounded edge at the top. It can certainly be made by machine, but it will never be as soft and individual as on a hand-turned pot.

Gysinge’s small lion pots also have two lion mascots on the chest, a common decoration in the early 19th century.

Metro full tile facade edge 10x20cm 0,5 sqm

The tiled Metro is based on a common European model from the turn of the 20th century. The model was common in the metro stations of Paris and London, and it still appears in some stations 100 years later! Each tile is marked with Gysinge on the back.

The tile is thick and strong and has a vibrant surface because it is made by hand, tile by tile. It is glazed by hand and fired in old kilns. The hand glazing makes the surface vibrant and shimmering. A larger surface tiled with our tile therefore gives the same impression as an old hand-beaten tile oven.

Tip: allow for 5-10% wastage when installing in corners and when tiles may break during drilling.

0.5sqm/25 tiles in one package. Swedish handmade tile. White glazed by hand. Height 10cm, length 20cm, thickness 1.4cm.
