Marimekko's Sambara throw is adorned with an abstract pattern with geometric shapes that resemble a tower. The pattern is designed by Sabine Finkenauer who was inspired by old wooden chess pieces she found at a flea market in Madrid. Coloured in hues of off-white, red and brown, the Sambara blanket is made of soft and cosy merino wool, which is warm yet breathable and naturally dirt-repellent. The throw has fringes at both ends.
