Vitra’s Colour Block blanket features a graphic block pattern by the Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. The wowen, two-tone colour combinations give a vivid touch for the simplistic pattern, and the blanket is perfected with a colourful fringe at both ends. The Colour Block blanket is made of high-quality Peruvian wool, which comes from a hybrid of Merino sheep, known for its extremely soft wool, and Corriedale sheep, whose wool has strong, sturdy fibers. The combination makes the blanket both luxuriously soft and durable.
