Tea towel for those who dance in the kitchen
The "The kitchen is for dancing" tea towel from 17;30 is a kitchen towel made of pure cotton in vibrant orange, designed in Hamburg and screen-printed by hand. A slogan for everyone whose feet start tapping while cooking.
Tea towel with a slogan means good vibes at the stove from 17;30. "The kitchen is for dancing" is written in cheerful orange on a light background, turning washing up into almost a small choreography. 50 x 70 cm of pure cotton that dries reliably while setting the rhythm, whether you're making pasta or enjoying an extensive Sunday breakfast.
Orange that invites you to tap along
In a warm orange, this kitchen towel adds energy to your towel rail. It’s perfect for people who love to crank up the radio while cooking and use a wooden spoon as a microphone on the side.
The lettering is hand-applied using screen printing in an orange that sounds like summer and good music. Lively, sunny, and full of character—that is the Hamburg sound. Because every towel goes through the printing process individually, each one is a small unique piece; sometimes the lettering is positioned a hair differently, and that is exactly part of the charm.
Over the shoulder while cooking, on a hook next to the stove, or over the oven handle, the towel is quickly at hand and adds a little something extra. A kitchen immediately feels more lived-in when there’s color on the rail instead of gray.
Drying in three-four time
The cotton towel absorbs water from glasses, plates, and hands without leaving lint. A cheerful helper for every day in the kitchen.
It can go in the machine at up to 60 degrees; ironed, it lies flat over the rail and the orange remains vibrant. Pure cotton gratefully absorbs moisture and releases it quickly into the air—a fabric that was made for the kitchen. Anyone who hangs it up prominently will have good vibes on the rail every morning.
It’s quickly at hand for a cooking evening with friends, wiping off fingers in between and polishing glasses afterward. With every wash, it gains a little more absorbency and will last for many years.
Hamburg zest for life since 2010
Behind 17;30 is a team from Hamburg, founded by Anna Upleger in 2010 on the Elbe and now led by Quinn Upleger.
The brand name refers to the time people clock off—5:30 PM—and that sense of ease is in every print. Since 2016, maritime leather keychains have evolved into cards, paper bags, and tea towels with an attitude. A tea towel isn't just a tea towel, as Quinn Upleger likes to emphasize; boring plaid patterns have dominated kitchens for long enough. 100 percent cotton, woven in India, finished with screen printing in Hamburg.
A gift that brings good cheer
Each towel comes individually with a paper band, ready to give as a gift without extra packaging.
An affordable gift for kitchen dancers and cheerful souls that brings a smile every morning. If you like, you can browse through the entire range of 17;30 towels or combine it with the & woe betide if it doesn't taste good in the same orange. You can find more tea towels for the other rail right next door.
As a set with a second motif, the towel becomes a little kitchen duo, nicely wrapped in the band and ready to be gifted in no time. For a housewarming, a birthday, or just because, because good vibes in the kitchen never hurt and a slogan on the wall is cheaper than any renovation.
