New forms in a classic material Products that will work in both traditional and modern environments. And work for a long time. Linen is a material that lives for a long time – the design should live at least as long. Good design is timeless and universal. That is why Peter Condu has deliberately chosen an exquisitely strict style for Klässbol's linen fabrics. It is the material that should speak, the patterns are formed from and live in different structures in the weave. "Lineis Sweden's silk", Peter Condu has long claimed. "Properly treated, it has unsurpassed beauty values ​​and certainly does not need to be inferior to any other textile material".

Peter Condu's textile art is internationally known. As early as 1970, the American department store chain Lord & Taylor introduced his work across the continent and for several years he himself commuted between Stockholm and New York with his own stores in both places. Exports to Japan also started early and he is now represented in many public and private environments in many countries and in several museums, including the National Museum in Stockholm, the Röhsska Konstslöjdsmuseet in Gothenburg and the Danish Museum of Fine Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen.

"There is nothing like the feeling of linen. We humans have loved linen since ancient times. Reference books and non-fiction list properties such as 'strength, durability, shine and pleasant coolness'. Factual words from books, which may not say much about feelings. But once you have felt a fresh linen towel against your face, you can hardly imagine anything else. That is what the 'linen feeling' is."
