Mor Design Crag Blanket
CRAG BLANKET
CRAG BLANKET
Designed by Eduardo Aires
Crag is inspired by and pays hommage to the heritage of wool manufacturing in serra da estrela.
It is designed with the intent of retrieving and displaying the array of traditional loom stiches, in juxtaposition.
Although very graphical and experimental, the result is brought together under two versions: a neutral greyscale style and a multicoloured palette, resulting in a contemporary object.
