Angular Blanket

This angular, geometric blanket from Elisa Strozyk was very interesting. The blanket looks as though it would be awkward and uncomfortable to sleep under however because of the way it has been constructed, the blanket would actually fall around you.The blanket is half textile and half wood, with the wooden pieces being attached to a textile base. This means the blanket can move and form in unexpected ways and shapes. It is almost like a living thing in how it is propped up on the bed by itself with nothing underneath.

I find the form of the blanket very interesting. When it is positioned (as seen above) you would think the piece quite solid and structured but when you start moving and playing around with the material, it's the total opposite. This makes me think about how I could create a quite a versatile material or to start playing with repeated shapes and seeing how multiples can be used differently creating new, exciting ideas.
