Another thing we’ve spent inordinate amounts of time doing these last few months is scrolling on Instagram, and we soon began to realise that there was one particular piece that was following us on the platform: an Arket blanket.
Devotees of the minimal style hotspot will already know that Arket boasts a thoughtful interiors edit, featuring sleek vases, plates, glassware, and textiles. However, the brand’s standout homeware buy is undoubtedly a blanket featuring a stylised foliage motif, which comes in an array of colours. Made exclusively for Market by Swedish woollen mill, Klippan Yllefabrik, it’s a thing of beauty that has caught the eye of many an interior enthusiast this year. So much so, our friends at Arket say it has been an unexpected best-seller, having sold out more times than anyone could have predicted. We think there are two reasons for this: 1) it’s chic, of course. And 2) wrapping yourself in its soft, cosy goodness is the closest thing you can get to having a cuddle with a loved one at the moment.
