Earlier this week, at a friend’s house for dinner, I found myself repeatedly distracted by her giant green mohair blanket on her sofa (Céline). Then I came across Røros Tweed, a Norwegian textile company specializing in luxurious wool blankets and started to wonder: Is the statement blanket here to stay for 2018?
Based in Røros, a small mining town in Norway, Røros Tweed has made ultrasoft and insulating blankets from the wool of local Norwegian sheep since 1940. In recent years, the company has been collaborating with notable Scandinavian and European designers, including Anderssen & Voll, Ingá Sempe, and more. Here’s a selection of our favorite designs available through Røros Tweed dealers (US sources are below).
Above: From French designer Ingá Sempè (you may recognize her from her Wästberg lighting), the Agnes Blanket, like an Agnes Martin painting, is designed with “two moving rhythms” of horizontal and vertical lines. You can source the Agnes Blanket, available in three colors, for $295 from Sweater Chalet in the US. Above: The Brostein Blanket is by Norwegian designer Bitten Brandt Skoglund who was inspired by cobblestones for her plaid design. The blanket comes in a range of colors at Fjørn for $350. Above: One of Anderssen & Voll’s designs, the Åker Blanket features a pattern inspired by rolling cornfields in the wind. Available in three colors for $350 at Fjørn. Above: The Glåmos Blanket from Anderssen & Voll is created from a traditional Norwegian pattern; $350 at Fjørn. Above: Norwegian knitwear designers Arne & Carlos created the Setesdal Blanket design from the traditional Setesdal pullover sweater. It’s available in two color combinations for $350 at Fjørn. Above: Another pastel style from Ingá Sempe, the Bernadette Blanket is characterized by muted tones and faded spots; $295 at Sweater Chalet. Above: The Åre Blanket from Anderssen & Voll is made with a tonal geometric pattern in off-white wool; $350 at Fjørn. Above: By Norwegian industrial designer Kristine Five Melvær, the two-sided monochrome Stemor Blanket is available in six different colors for $350 at Fjørn. Above: Ingá Sempe’s Giboulée Blanket is inspired by the heavy rainfall of March (the French word giboulée translates to “sleet”). The two-color blanket is available for $295 at Sweater Chalet.
