With a shared love of quirky design and playful prints, fashion designer Claire Tregoning (based in Sydney) and graphic designer Marc Hendrick (based in L.A.) made the decision to join forces and launch Slowdown Studio – a design company specialising in the creation of artistic woven blankets. In collaboration with some of their favourite artists from around the globe, Slowdown Studio, which is based in the U.S.A., recently launched its first collection featuring four distinctive designs, each with an exclusive run of just 25 pieces.

Made in the U.S.A. from 100% cotton, the blankets can be used for a bevy of purposes: to liven up your picnic lunch, warm up your bed, adorn your wall or, if you can stand to part ways with it, be given as a gift. Housed cosily in an exclusive Slowdown Studio drawstring canvas bag, each piece is delivered worldwide free of charge. Bonus! Pop over to the studio’s online store, stat, before they sell out.
