The Modernist Blanket
The Modernist Woven Blanket – Abstract French Textile Design from 1923
“When art is made new, we are made new with it... A new phase in the history of human awareness has been opened up.”
– John Russell, *The Meaning of Modern Art*, 1974
The Modernist Woven Blanket celebrates the bold vision of 20th-century Modernism. Adapted from an original French block-printed textile created in 1923, the design reflects the spirit of the age—where abstraction, energy, and innovation transformed art and design. With rhythmic grid structures and dynamic forms, the pattern evokes elements of Cubism, Futurism, and Constructivism, inviting movement and modern expression into the home.
This archival motif has been revived by Print~Sisters and transformed into a woven textile using recycled yarns, blending timeless aesthetics with conscious craftsmanship. Ideal for use as a throw, wall tapestry, picnic blanket, or comforting accent piece, the blanket is both a design statement and a tribute to creative progress.
