Small ceiling Bauhaus style

For years we have carried the lambswool blankets and pillowcases of the Bauhaus style series from Røros Tweed in our assortment. With the possibility of working more and more in the home office, the demand for smaller format lambswool blankets grew, which are more colorful and of softer quality than the sturdy, small blankets meant for the terrace or on the road. Røros Tweed therefore manufactures this small blanket in fine, soft lambswool and with the same powerful colors as the large Bauhaus-style blanket. As with the latter, the surface of the fabric is double napped, which makes it even more voluminous, allowing it to store more heat-insulating air and giving it a pleasantly soft feel. With the format of 135 × 100 cm, the blanket has the size of a classic plaid, making it ideal for warming the lap and legs, whether on the office chair, sofa or balcony chair. Because even if the colors are partly very bright - virgin wool is basically insensitive and has a kind of self-cleaning effect thanks to the fiber structure. And if the worst comes to the worst, you can also wash the blanket.

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.
