Description

The Italian designer Cristina Celestino created the Louise throw in collaboration with Maison Matisse. The colour palette of the painting Intérieur aux Aubergines (1911) by Henri Matisse was the guideline for the design. Cristina Celestino also took some graphic elements from this work, such as the frame or the stitching. The jacquard weave gives the throw a two-tone, double-sided appearance, creating a play of chromatic contrasts that remain faithful to the shades used by the painter.

The throw is made in Italy by one of the most innovative and high quality Italian design manufactures. The extra-fine merino wool, which comes from New Zealand, offers ideal warmth and lightness. It is also very easy to care for and hypoallergenic. Maison Matisse advises professional washing for visible stains. At the end of the winter, the throw should be hung outdoors for one night to air out. It can then be stored in its original bag in a cupboard until the next season.

The Louise throw can also be worn around the shoulders like a scarf.

Available in four colour combinations.
