Description
The Eames Wool Blanket in light blue, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, honours their innovative textile design work. Originally created for a 1947 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the blanket’s iconic ‘Dot Pattern’ demonstrates the Eameses’ expertise in combining colour, shape, and material. The bold graphic of crosses and dots draws inspiration from Ray Eames’s abstract paintings of the 1930s, seamlessly blending art with modern design.
Made using a jacquard weave, the blanket offers a reversible design with the pattern inverted on each side. Made from 100% Merino lambswool, the blanket provides exceptional softness, lightweight comfort, and effective warmth. Its luxurious material ensures a cosy experience without sacrificing functionality. This Eames Wool Blanket serves as a source of comfort while encapsulating the timeless design principles of the Eameses, bringing modern elegance and a bold graphic statement to your home and reflecting both creativity and style.
