Seat cover Bauhaus style

Sit warm and soft wherever you go - no problem with this seat blanket made of pure Norwegian new wool. Røros Tweed makes it from the same fine, supple lambswool in equally vibrant colors as the Bauhaus blankets we carry in our range. In a slightly larger format of 45 × 45 cm, the seat cover transforms almost any surface into a comfortable, warm seat - whether on a garden chair or bench on cooler evenings, at picnics, parties and concerts, or during a hiking break. Because rolled up compactly, the handy, lightweight (100 g) seat cover fits in any backpack or larger bag. The surface of the fabric is double roughened after weaving, which provides additional volume and a soft feel. The seat blanket is all around edged with wool yarn, so that it stays in shape for a long time.

The Norwegian textile company Røros Tweed is characterized by a high level of vertical integration. All production processes, from shearing to weaving, are located in Norway, based on designs created in collaboration with renowned designers, including international ones. The fact that Røros Tweed pays such consistent attention to purely Norwegian production is also due to the appreciation of regional traditions - but not only that.

In Røros, Norway's only mountain town, it all began with a social motivation: the industrialist Peder Hiort (1715 to 1789) had stipulated in his will that his fortune should be used to purchase wool so that the needy of Røros could weave textiles from it in paid homework. Røros Tweed follows in this tradition of responsible action and continues the basic idea of the Hiort Foundation - technically advanced and ecologically minded. The products are designed and manufactured in such a way that the materials used can be reused and returned to the material cycle. This conserves resources, saves material costs and avoids waste.

Røros Tweed only uses wool from sheep farms in the region. The sheep live and graze freely on the pasture, even though the climate there is extremely harsh. At the same time, however, this provides a great advantage, as pests do not even settle in the wool. There is therefore no need for chemical treatment. Thanks to the natural living conditions for the sheep, Norwegian new wool has another special feature: It is very elastic. If you squeeze the raw wool with your hands and then let go, it quickly regains its original volume. This elasticity ensures that Røros blankets are so voluminous - and remain so for a long time.
