Crux

November 23rd, 2007

Crux BlanketA survivor, the cross symbol was seldom seen in the design world before Pia Wallén introduced her Crux blanket in 1991. Pia was touched by the idéa of hope that the cross blanket represented and was inspired to design her own during the Kuwait war. In Swedish folkart tradition, the cross is a strong symbol for hope, a meeting point of heaven and earth and has remained an important symbol for Pia Wallén during her career. Produced by a small family company in Sweden, using the finest wool. The weaving process is crafted with traditional weaving machines which make the fine border and it’s felted using the traditional Scandinavian methods. The blanket is made in a limited edition, and new colours are introduced each year. This collectors item is represented at various museums.
