Seal Lambswool Stölzl Throw

As part of the Bauhaus centenary celebrations, Wallace Sewell created 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. 

Gunta Stölzl was fundamental to the Bauhaus weaving department and when the Bauhaus moved to Dessau, Stölzl, who was a master of the weaving workshop, designed a blanket for the ‘Prellerhaus’ student dormitories.  The original is a bold interaction of horizontal and vertical, positive and negative. 

The Wallace Sewell Prellerhaus blanket harks back to the original as closely as possible, picking up on the rhythm and simplicity of Gunta’s design.  Wallace Sewellhave also created new color ways, which keep the tonal balance and design that is essentially Bauhaus, whilst updating to a more contemporary palette. 

These bold and contemporary designs make a colorful and uplifting addition to any bedroom or sofa.
