Raawii’s new Teenagers from Mars smells a little bit like teen spirit. The soft blanket will keep you warm on freezing winter days and chilly summer evenings alike, adding a lovely splash of color, playfulness, and rebellion to your décor.
DANISH RAAWII IS BEST KNOWN for its timeless, practical, and colorful design. Those elements are also present in the brand's new Teenagers from Mars blanket, which charms with its bright shades and soft, abstract figures.
Teenagers from Mars blanket is decorated with an abstract, chubby figure whose origin is unknown. Designer Olimpia Zagnoli says that those brightly colored, vaguely human-like creatures have been with her for several years.
“I still don’t know exactly where they come from or where they’re headed,” she tells. “They’re human figures but they’re also a bit alien.”
The name of the blanket, Teenagers from Mars, is a reference not only to aliens but also to the song of the same name by The Misfits, which Olimpia herself loved back in her high school days. She wanted to design the blanket as a reminder to keep that teenage rebellion inside us alive even as an adult.
“I like the idea of keeping a bit of that teenage spirit in our everyday lives. These blankets are a reminder of that, to always protect the teenager inside you, no matter what life brings.”
