Description
The Olsen throw is a knitted polyester blanket in a bold geometric pattern, worked in two greens against a paler mint. Measuring 130 x 180cm, it is a generous single-throw size: long enough to run the length of a two-seater sofa or to lie across the foot of a double bed without leaving the edges bare. The face is a feather yarn, the soft brushed pile you can see standing proud in the close-up, which is what gives the throw its plush hand and its deep colour saturation.
This is a throw that earns its place in a living room. Drape it over the arm of a sofa or fold it across a reading chair, and the raised geometric design reads clearly from across the room, so it works as much for its look as for the warmth it adds. The green sits happily with natural woods, cream and beige, and the striped bedding in the photograph shows how comfortably it settles into a bedroom scheme too. Because the pattern is double-sided, both faces carry the design, so there is no wrong way to fold it and no dull reverse to hide.
Polyester is the practical choice here: it holds colour well, resists the creasing that flattens natural-fibre throws, and copes with the daily handling a sofa throw takes. The feather yarn keeps its loft and softness through use, which is what makes this an easy layer to reach for rather than one you save for show. Pair it with plain cushions to let the geometry lead, or with the mint tones already in the weave for a quieter, tonal finish.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Olsen throw?
It measures 130 x 180cm, a single-throw size that suits a two-seater sofa or the foot of a double bed and works as an extra layer on a chair.
What is it made from?
It is 100% polyester, knitted from a soft feather yarn that gives the throw its plush, brushed surface and its full, saturated colour.
Is the pattern on both sides?
Yes, the geometric design is double-sided, so both faces carry the pattern and there is no plain reverse to keep hidden when you fold it.
Will polyester hold its colour and shape?
Polyester holds colour well and resists creasing, so the throw copes with regular handling on a sofa and keeps its look through everyday use.
What colours will it sit with?
The greens and mint work with natural woods, cream and beige, and pair easily with plain cushions if you want the geometry to lead.
