Magniberg launches a collection of oversized heavyweight blankets in virgin wool

Kids pretend to be superheroes trailing blankets behind them like heroic capes. Teenagers wrap blankets around their shoulders in front of a campfire on the beach. Two lovers entwine under one blanket, soft wool against bare skin…

Swedish bedwear label Magniberg broadens its range with a collection of oversized heavyweight blankets. Aptly called the Bold Blanket, the monumental blankets are, made from virgin wool in a soft yet heavy weave with a boiled character. The blanket is available in ten electrifying hues including Disco Blue, Juicy Orange and Ice-Skating Pink. The Bold Blanket continues Magniberg’s fashion-led approach to home textiles.

To celebrate the launch, Magniberg invited a friend of the brand, British photographer Daniyel Lowden, to document the collection. His images have a darkly humorous quality, depicting ghost-like figures wrapped in blankets, wandering around the city.

“In the past, whenever I’ve looked for a blanket, they are often a bit bland and neutral in colour and weirdly small. I think that a blanket should be a possession of comfort. You don’t want it small. Everything about it must be more. It should be soft, heavier, more wool. And I wanted colour, not a blanket that disappear into the background. I sought to create a blanket that you can relax in – and even if there are two of you – not fight over.” – Bengt Thornefors
