Curio Practice – Blue Blanket, 2022

THE BLUE BLANKET was made with a sense of intuition between pattern, colour and the abilities of the knitting machine. I made one rectangular pattern repeat a constant, uninterrupted bold blue that acts as an anchor to the blanket. Whereas the other rectangular pattern repeat is forever changing, unpredictable and very spontaneous.

Founded by material designer Georgie Brunmayr, CURIO was born from a desire to create a product of technical excellence, comfort and beauty, with lifelong durability.
