Quarantine Quilts

Combining all elements and ingredients that work as a base for the studio lead to the Quarantine Quilts. Different colours of the versatile Planum palette (which Raw Color designed for Kvadrat Febrik) feature in various combinations and proportions giving each quilt its own characteristic.

Resourceful

Being in the midst of the pandemic, Raw Color investigated on how to work with limited resources and how to transform a crisis into a possibility. This optimistic mindset reflects in the way they approached the this project. They utilised the time to work on this self-initiated project, that more than once proved to serve as an inspiration for new projects.

Collection

From simple quilts with bigger colour areas, to more detailed ones, with plenty of different colour combinations. The edges of each quilts are profoundly finished with a detailled hem. Inspired by measuring tape, each hem has several the colour planes. The amount of plains is again in perfect harmony with the amount of colour used in the rest of the quilt. Altogether, this resulted in four different quilts that clearly belong to the same family.  

‘We wanted to challenge ourselves to work with limited resources and handcraft. The confinement led to a mindset that is reflected in the way the quilts are constructed.‘
