Queen Silvia of Sweden and The World Scout Foundation

Diana Holstein for Queen Silvia of Sweden and The World Scout Foundation

“Georg Jensen Damask contacted me when they were commissioned to design and weave an exclusive gift for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden on the occasion of her 60th birthday in 2003. I made various sketches for a total of three table cloths:  Easter, Christmas and All Year Round, and these were presented to the Queen to give her the opportunity to express her opinions and wishes.

Some weeks later together with Georg Jensen Damask I went to Stockholm, where Her Majesty agreed the final drafts.

It was an enormously exciting task to work with the Queen and also a great pleasure.   I was therefore very excited when I had the opportunity to repeat the experience of working with the Queen when I was asked to design a King’s tablecloth on the occasion of His Majesty King Gustav XVI of Sweden’s 60th birthday in 2006 and the World Scout Foundation Jubilee in 2007.”
