Description
The Olsen throw is a knitted polyester blanket in a bold geometric pattern, worked here in bright pink and deep teal. The two colours interlock in an angular, tessellating design of slanted blocks that shifts as it runs across the cloth, so the whole piece reads as movement rather than a flat repeat. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-throw size that drapes over a two-seater sofa or lies across the foot of a bed without disappearing into it.
This is a piece for a room that wants a little more colour and a little more texture. The pile is a feather yarn, brushed and soft to the touch, so it invites you to sit under it rather than simply look at it. It suits a sofa that needs pulling together, a reading chair, or a bed that could take a layer on top of the duvet. The pink-and-teal pairing is confident, so it works best against calmer walls and plainer furniture that let the pattern do the talking. The design is double-sided, which means you can fold or throw it however it falls and it looks intentional from any angle.
The construction is knitted rather than woven, giving it stretch and a relaxed drape rather than a stiff, structured hang. Polyester is the whole of the cloth, which is why it holds its colour well, resists creasing and shrugs off the everyday knocks of sofa life. Being fully synthetic, it is easy to live with and does not need the careful handling a natural fibre might. Fold it over an armrest, drape it corner-first over a chair, or spread it flat as a bed runner; the geometric print carries whichever way you place it.

Frequently Asked
What size is the Olsen throw and what will it cover?
It measures 130 x 180cm, which comfortably covers a two-seater sofa or lies across the foot of most beds as an extra layer.
Is the pattern the same on both sides?
Yes, the design is double-sided, so it looks finished from any angle whether you fold it, drape it or spread it flat.
What does the feather yarn feel like?
It is a brushed, soft pile that gives the throw a plush, tactile surface, so it is one you will want to sit under rather than just look at.
Is it made from a natural or a synthetic fibre?
It is 100% polyester, a fully synthetic fibre that holds colour well, resists creasing and copes easily with the everyday use a throw gets.
How is it constructed?
It is knitted rather than woven, which gives it a soft stretch and a relaxed drape rather than a stiff, structured hang.
