The Cathrineholm factory opened in Halden, Norway in 1907. Originally producing ironworks and agricultural equipment, they then moved to creating signage and general household wares, before producing enamelled kitchenware.
As a designer, Grete Prytz Kittelsen was contracted to Cathrineholm, from 1955 until 1972.
During that time she designed a range of enamelware for the company - most famously Lotus (1962-65) and not-so-famously Stripes (1956), Square (1958) and Bands (1958).
Contrary to popular belief, the flower pattern displayed on the Lotus design was not the work of Grete herself, but decorator/artist Arne Clausen. In fact, Grete has been known to comment on how she doesn't like the pattern at all and that it ruins the look of her solid-colour design!
