Ernst #1 Vintage Floral Design Swedish Dishcloth

Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German biologist, naturalist, and philosopher known for his work in the fields of zoology, embryology, and ecology. He is perhaps best known for coining the term "ecology". Haeckel’s contributions to science and his artistic depictions of life forms remain significant, influencing both biology and the arts.

Orchidae 1904 is a lithographic color plate from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur of 1899 showing an artist's depiction of different varieties of orchid.

What is a Swedish Dishcloth?

A sponge, dishcloth, paper towel, and microfibre all-in-one?

The original Swedish dishcloth material was invented by a Swedish engineer in 1949. Our Swedish dishcloths are made with this same material: 70% wood cellulose from FSC certified forests, 30% cotton, and printed with water-based dyes. Swedish dishcloths have been a cleaning staple in Swedish households for over 60 years!
