about

This blanket by artist Sigrid Caron is by the Textile Museum in Tilburg, Netherlands. Taking full advantage of the latest knitting machines that allow different designs to be created on each side, the front is brown and pink, while the back is black and white.

When you zoom in on the knitted structure, you can see that many V shapes are repeated. Using these V shapes as a base, I scattered small patterns inspired by a 100-year-old weaving sample stored in a museum.

It has a firm texture and is a little heavier than a regular blanket. It can be draped over sofas, beds, and some customers even use it as a carpet.

He began his career as an artist in earnest in 2005, and his collection of works, "To the Extend of / \ | & -," which led to his international breakthrough, and his poster work using lithographs of the same name, have been highly praised around the world and are held in numerous collections and museum libraries. She creates installation works that make use of the characteristics of the location and region, such as the De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art in Tilburg (2019). In 2022, she stayed at Creative Residence Arita (CRA) in Saga Prefecture for three months, and presented an installation using textiles at Fukugenji Temple in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, during Fuji Textile Week 2022 held in the same year.
