Blanket Kvam

The KVAM blanket from Norwegian manufacturer Roros Tweed was created by designer Kristine Five Melvaer. The KVAM series is characterized by its playful geometry, based on the possibilities and limitations of the jacquard weave. The motif refers to the horizontal and vertical directions of the fabric, while the diagonal lines create rhythm and dynamics. The pattern can be associated with both Norwegian and Japanese motifs. The blanket is made of pure Norwegian quality wool, the flagship of the manufacturer Roros Tweed. The material is not only soft and cuddly, but also particularly elastic and durable and promises longevity for years.

Selected wool from Norwegian sheep and collaborations with leading Scandinavian designers and textile artists have made Røros Tweed one of the most renowned manufacturers of 100% Norwegian branded goods. Røros Tweed, from the UNESCO World Heritage City of Røros in Norway, draws its quality and tradition from a unique history: the testamentary bequest of Peder Hiort, the childless director of the mine, in 1789 led to the establishment of a remarkable foundation. His fortune was used to provide training in textile manufacturing to those in need and to procure the necessary materials. This foundation bought the products of the textile workers and distributed the same garments as alms every year. Often the workers who had been paid for their work received the same garments back. This laid the foundation for a tradition of craftsmanship and textile production that later led to Røros Tweed, which today works closely with renowned Scandinavian designers and textile artists to produce high-quality products from 100% Norwegian wool. The inspiration comes from the surrounding mountain nature and the cultural heritage of Røros. Røros Tweed is known for its curtains, upholstery fabrics, throws and tweed, but the focus today is on high-quality wool blankets that combine tradition and modernity.
