Gunta Stolzl Bauhaus Cushion in Indigo

In 2019, as part of the Bauhaus centenary celebrations, Wallace Sewell were authorized to create a re-edition of Gunta Stölzl’s original ‘Prellerdecke’ blanket. The original design having been lost, Wallace Sewell have realized and recreated the design, with help from Gunta Stölzl’s daughter, Monika Stadler, and archive drawings and photographs. Through textile detective work the team analyzed an existing photograph of the original blanket. The Wallace Sewell blanket harkens back to the original as closely as possible, picking up on the rhythm and simplicity of Gunta’s design—keeping the tonal balance and design that is essentially Bauhaus, whilst updating to a more contemporary palette. They've applied that design here to this cushion cover as a matching piece. Includes sheepswool insert.
