Vitra - Colour Block Blankets

Vitra colour block blanket.

Design by Hella Jongerius.

The woven, two-tone color combinations add a lively touch to the simplistic pattern, and the blanket is beautifully finished with colorful fringe at both ends.

The Color Block Blanket is made of high-quality Peruvian wool, sourced from Merino sheep, and Corriedale sheep, the former known for its extremely soft wool, and the Corriedale sheep known for its strong wool. This combination makes the throw/blanket both luxuriously soft and very durable.

Material: 100% Peruvian high country wool
Colors: Pink-beige, Blue-bordeaux and Black-blue.  
Dimensions: Length 204 cm.  Width 130 cm.
