Albertus Red130x180cm Woven Eco Lambswool Blanket
The Albertus Throw, designed by Kerstin Landström for Klippan Yllefabrik, transforms centuries of Swedish artistry into a modern textile masterpiece. This blanket is a powerful tribute to Albertus Pictor, Sweden's foremost medieval church painter.
Albertus Pictor was a prolific artist who painted a total of 36 churches in the late 15th century, primarily across Uppland and Södermanland. His legacy includes the stunning works found in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nederluleå Church in Gammelstad church village.
The pattern for the ALBERTUS blanket is directly inspired by the intricate details common in Albertus Pictor's painted churches:
Acanthus Scrolls: The central motif echoes the elegant loops of acanthus leaves that characterize the painter's rich, decorative style.
Geometric Borders: The contrasting bands feature patterns inspired by the striking borders used to frame his dramatic frescoes.
Crafted with Klippan's signature quality eco lambswool, this throw is a piece of living history, weaving the striking colours and motifs of Sweden's medieval heritage into contemporary comfort.
