We’d buy Holly Berry‘s Morse Code blankets for their bright colors, punchy pattern, and quality crafting. But when we found out that spell the word LOVE across them in Morse code, we absolutely had to have one.
Textile company Roddy & Ginger, founded by graphic and textile designer Ginger Armstrong who works out of her mid-century modern home in leafy south east London, is branching out. The studio has just introduced a brand new pattern called Logpile, which celebrates the humble wood pile with its promise of toasty winter fires. Like the studio’s other screen printed designs, Logpile draws on Scandinavian and retro-inspired designs.
Scholten & Baijings have created a new series of bed linens, rugs, and tea towels for Denmark-based company Hay, launched at the recent 2011 Maison & Objet. My legs buckle whenever Scholten & Baijings designs anything new, and I’m going to be keeping tabs on this collection as it grows. Watching it like a hawk.
I am in love with this new Totem Duvet from West Elm. Want.
Filt is the newest creation from Urbancase, a 100% cotton Swedish army surplus hospital blanket. Filt means blanket in Swedish. It is lightweight, soft with an open weave. The embroidered image of blood spatter is symbolic of the original purpose of the blanket.
makelike is a Portland-based multidisciplinary design studio with a life long obsession with cacti. That’s why they decided to design a limited-edition theme-based line of products created for the home specifically focusing on the prickly green desert plant. The collection includes wallpaper, limited-edition posters, tea towels and pillow cases, screenprinted by hand using water-based inks in (or around) Portland, Oregon. What a fun theme!
LUDD is a Swedish – Spanish company, based in Barcelona, creating exclusive, ethical, ecological, all-European made clothing for babies from 0 to 3 yrs old. LUDD’s newest line, Pure Dreams, is baby bedding, made using fair-trade 100% organic cotton, eco-friendly dye. I very much enjoy the minimalism of this, especially in contrast to the crazy, often character-decorated baby bedding on the market. The bedding consists of a pillowcase and quilt cover and comes in white, black and brown.
