Description

A special collaboration with Los Angeles–based design studio Commune, Abstrakt is part of a new series of interior objects rooted in personal expression and collective memory. The design originates from a suite of small-scale paintings by Steven Johanknecht, created at home during the quiet stillness of the pandemic lockdown. These intimate works were repeated, repositioned, and reimagined as textile compositions a process that transforms solitary gestures into shared pattern.
Referencing the structure and symmetry of traditional Scandinavian motifs, Abstrakt blends the hand of the artist with the order of craft. The result is a modern expression that bridges past and present contemporary yet familiar, intuitive yet intentional.

A jacquard loom is used to weave this work of art. The blanket is made of fine yarns of lambs wool and cashmere with a soft felted finishing to give warmth yet remains light weight. Edges are fished with a special color stitching in an exclusive method, a hand rolled edge that creates a cording effect.

Design Inspiration

A celebration of contrast, character, and craft the Jacquard Blanket Collection represents a meeting of the old world and the new. Each blanket is woven on jacquard looms by historic Italian mills using noble yarns of 92% Virgin Merino Wool 8% Cashmere a luxurious blend, chosen for its softness, lightness, and insulating warmth. The blankets are double-faced, giving a distinct visual on either side, while remaining lightweight and remarkably warm. A soft felted finish heightens the tactile appeal, making each piece a refined yet comforting presence in the home.

Design, texture, and construction come together in quiet harmony. Meticulously hand-finished details such as hand-rolled edges and contrast punto cavallo stitching add both visual structure and artisanal distinction. With bold graphics softened by noble fibres, the blankets strike a balance between elegance and ease, modernity and memory. Each piece is entirely made in Italy, a testament to the country’s deep textile heritage, where design is both expressive and exacting.

Artisanship

At the heart of each piece lies a reverence for tradition and a commitment to the handmade. The process begins with the finest natural fibres, sourced and spun in Italy to uncompromising standards. Woven on jacquard looms by a family-run mill that has upheld these techniques for generations, the work is a union of technical mastery and quiet artistry. Each design is born from a contemporary view of colour and composition, yet remains deeply rooted in architectural order and historical form.

After weaving, the textiles are brushed and felted a finishing that softens the surface while preserving clarity of line. Final details are added by hand. The result is a work of enduring character, where innovation and inheritance meet, and every thread bears the mark of the maker.
