Color

This mid century modern tea towel brings the atomic age to your countertop — in a good way. Original artwork, three colorways, one size that actually works hung or flat. This is the kind of kitchen detail that makes people stop and ask where you got it. 

  • Size: 18" × 30" (45.72cm × 76.2cm) — one size
  • Material: Lightweight cotton twill

Your kitchen is a room you're in every day. It might as well look like somewhere you actually want to be.

Design Details

  • All-over repeat pattern of freehand-illustrated atomic starburst motifs in three sizes — from dramatic 8-point compass stars to small tight sparkles
  • Layered behind and between the starbursts: sweeping concentric orbit curves, the signature mark of 1950s atomic age design
  • The background carries a visible linen-weave texture that gives the illustration an organic, artist-made quality — not a flat digital print
  • Choose from three color options

    Green — olive and sage starbursts on a warm cream background, with muted gray-green swoosh lines
    Gray — charcoal to warm gray starbursts on a natural oatmeal ground, with soft gray orbit curves
    Red/Pink — deep crimson to dusty rose starbursts on a blush-nude background, with muted pink swoosh lines

  • One-sided print; reverse is clean white
