At midnight
The sky is blue, the water still
The mountain mirrors in the surface, the surface mirrors the sky
The sun just set now rises again - blushing on Ringkallen mountain ridge

Countless early June nights spent looking over Sörleviken bay is what named and inspired this design. The pattern originated from the Swedish traditional pattern “Blixtrölakan” in the ”water design” - ”rölakan” the name for this technique in Swedish and “blixt” meaning lightning. So, lightning rods flashing before your eyes like the movement of water on a still surface = blixtrölakan. This pattern was commonly found on carriage bedding and house textiles in Sweden’s wealthy southern parts during the 1700s to early 1900s and was 100% a way of showing off your skill and wealth to your neighbors (I’m from the north but the fact I use this technique for this collection adds a small but loving hint towards Mats and Pontus of Indigofera, who both grew up in these areas of Sweden!). Influenced by goods sold by traders and merchants from the Mediterranean areas as well as Northern Africa and the Bysantin empire, this technique once merged with Nordic folk aesthetics and became part of our heritage. My Midnight Dazzler blanket mixes the experience of an early summer High Coast night in the 21st century with traditions of the past, as well as the Eye Dazzler designs of the Navajo tradition which uses the same technique.

“The reality is, Indigofera blankets are works of art. In this case, the sublime human and artist Miriam Parkman developed a pattern and color palette that might just be your newest wall tapestry. The mixtures of coral, baby blue, and brown in this zig-zag pattern will blow your mind on this made in Norway Blanket. It's mean to mimic the way midnight lighting bounces off mountain ranges and mirrors the sky as it's reflected off the water. And the best part, you get two blankets for one. The inverse side of the blanket might be just as awe-inspiring as the front.”
