- Is a Danish Modern table truly set without these Linen Viking ship Placemats? Created by Swedish textile designer Astrid Sempe, … more Is a Danish Modern table truly set without these Linen Viking ship Placemats? Created by Swedish textile designer Astrid Sempe, these five whimsical mats each feature a scrolled long boat holding eight horned helmeted Viking heads in four pairs outfitted with shields and oars, and the mast sporting a vertical stripped sail full of Nordic wind. The Swedish word “Vikingaskepp” (Viking ship) reinforces the image’s identity, and a small, checkered pattern borders each mat. Ms. Sampe was an award winning designer associated with renowned Swedish Department Store Nordiska Kompaniet and collaborated with many significant Scandinavian Mid-century modern designers and architects. One of the five placemats has minor spots in the upper, right corner. less
