COLOUR BLOCK BLANKET

Designed by Hella Jongerius, 2016

Four contrasting colour blocks form the decorative overall pattern of the Colour Block Blankets by Hella Jongerius. This snug blanket is made of Peruvian highland wool from a hybrid breed of sheep: a cross between a Merino, whose wool is extremely soft, and a Corriedale, which is known for its sturdy fibres.
