Louisiana plaid Sale price$124.00

The Louisiana plaid is inspired by Louisiana's architecture; more specifically the outer wall at Louisiana's cafe area. The wall, where the bricks intersect at an angle of 30 degrees, which gives the wall a unique expression and makes the building and nature cohesive. The graphic pattern is reproduced on the Louisiana plaid. On one side in black on a white background and on the other side in white, on a black background.

The blanket is made in collaboration with Klippan Yllefabrik, which is known for weaving quality blankets. The Louisiana blanket is woven from 100% cotton and is wonderfully soft.

Architects Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert collaborated with Louisiana's founder, Knud W. Jensen, on the museum's extensions, which were constructed in the years 1956-58. The vision and philosophy that guided the architects was to create coherence between the old villa and the extensions by taking into account and integrating nature and the surroundings in a way that would make the museum fit in with the surroundings in a harmonious and natural way.

The long wall at the terrace dissolves into a pattern of protruding bricks and consists of two sections that face differently. The standard measurement of the angled wall was extended and used to mark the placement of the facing bricks that protrude from the wall. The faceted pattern is the result of two sets of bricks intersecting at an angle of 30 degrees. The architecture makes the wall as much a part of the landscape as the trees and the fern-filled gorge.

The reason for this is the three-dimensional composition of the bricks, which extend, shape the space and become part of the surroundings. As daylight glides across the facade of the wall, the sun creates an alternating pattern of shadows that vary with the angle of view.

The wall is noticeable because of its faceted surface, and the same relationship between place and material is repeated in the brick walls that extend on the other side of the passages, as well as the other elements that frame this part of the building.

The building's elements make the natural space tangible, giving it dimension, texture and pattern, and in this way become part of the natural environment.
