Fri

This lightweight-wool throw is crafted from Norwegian lambswool, and has repeated structures woven directly into the fabric. This creates a surface where texture, pattern and colour are part of the construction itself. The weave has a quiet, tactile character, with its detail becoming clearer at close range and through touch. Each throw is woven and finished in Røros.

 

Fri is designed by Anderssen & Voll as a reinterpretation of the traditional Norwegian table runner, or løper. The designers retain the small-scale repetition characteristic of the original textile while changing its scale, use and colour. The result takes a familiar piece of Norwegian domestic weaving and gives its underlying pattern a new context.
