Charles & Ray Eames, 1947
The 'Dot Pattern' featured on the Eames Wool Blanket was created in 1947 in conjunction with an exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The large-scale composition of crossed lines and dots is reminiscent of the abstract paintings by Ray Eames from the 1930s.

Material description
- Material: 100% Merino lambswool, produced in a jacquard weave.

Their expert hand craftsmanship ensures the high-quality execution of the designs.

Eames Wool Blanket
Like many other prominent twentieth-century architects and designers, Charles and Ray Eames also sought to implement their ideas about colours, shapes and materials in the design of textiles. The 'Dot Pattern' was created in 1947 in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The pattern is a large-scale graphic composition made up of crosses and dots, thereby referencing the abstract paintings by Ray Eames from the 1930s.
