Description
Woven in Portugal from merino wool, the Ethnos blanket draws on traditional motifs reinterpreted through Burel Factory’s contemporary practice. Produced on heritage looms and finished by hand, it reflects a continuity of pattern and making.
The fabric is milled to create a dense, structured surface, with colour worked through the weave rather than applied after. The pattern carries references to earlier textile traditions, held within a material shaped by generations of wool production in the Serra da Estrela region.
A blanket where pattern, material and process remain closely connected.

Wool shaped through time, process and place.
Burel Factory is a Portuguese textile house based in the Serra da Estrela mountain range, dedicated to preserving the craft and culture of wool. Working from a restored 19th century factory in Manteigas, the workshop continues a lineage of weaving shaped by generations of makers and deep regional knowledge.
Rooted in the rhythms of the land, the process begins with raw wool sourced from local flocks. The fibres are opened, carded, spun and woven on historic looms, before being milled through heat and water to create burel, a dense wool fabric known for its strength, warmth and durability.
Bringing together heritage machinery and contemporary design, Burel Factory carries this tradition forward through colour, form and application. Each piece reflects a commitment to slow production, material integrity and the enduring value of making.
