A striking re-edition of the Gunta Stolzl Preller decke Blanket where Wallace Sewell were able to achieve the rhythm and simplicity of her original work.

In an Indigo colourway, deep inky blue paired with black, cream, duck egg blue and mid-red accent, a sophisticated and rich palette. A new colourway for this blanket by Wallace Sewell in keeping with the tonal balance and style that is essentially Bauhaus.

This generously sized soft woven lambswool blanket would be a perfect size for your bed.

Gunta Stolzl, a master weaver and head of Bauhaus weaving workshop created the iconic Prellerdecke in 1926, designed for the beds at the Bauhaus Dessau dormitories. Stölzl’s students in her workshop handwove more than 100 of those blankets, which have all since been lost.

As part of the Bauhaus centenary celebrations, Wallace and Sewell were permitted to create a re-edition of Gunta’s design. The original is a bold interaction of horizontal and vertical, positive and negative. Through textile detective work Emma and Harriet analysed an existing photo of the original blanket and through sketches, colour swatches and small hand looms of samples they were able to achieve the design as close to the original as possible, picking up on the rhythm and simplicity of Gunta’s work.
