Norwegian weaving tradition is combined with the straightforwardness of Bauhaus designs in these pillowcases. In addition to their powerful color palette, the lambswool pillowcases also have a pleasantly soft feel thanks to the roughness of the fabric. Røros Tweed makes them to match our Bauhaus-style blankets: from the same soft Norwegian lambswool.

The Norwegian textile company Røros Tweed is characterized by a high level of vertical integration. All production processes, from shearing to weaving, are located in Norway, based on designs created in collaboration with renowned designers, including international ones. The fact that Røros Tweed pays such consistent attention to purely Norwegian production is also due to the appreciation of regional traditions - but not only that.

In Røros, Norway's only mountain town, it all began with a social motivation: the industrialist Peder Hiort (1715-1789) had stipulated in his will that his fortune should be used to purchase wool so that the needy of Røros could weave textiles from it in paid homework. Røros Tweed follows in this tradition of responsible action and continues the basic idea of the Hiort Foundation - technically advanced and ecologically minded. The products are designed and manufactured in such a way that the materials used can be reused and returned to the material cycle. This conserves resources, saves material costs and avoids waste.

Røros Tweed only uses wool from sheep farms in the region. The sheep live and graze freely on the pasture, even though the climate there is extremely harsh. At the same time, however, this provides a great advantage, as pests do not even settle in the wool. There is therefore no need for chemical treatment. Thanks to the natural living conditions for the sheep, Norwegian new wool has another special feature: It is very elastic. If you squeeze the raw wool with your hands and then let go, it quickly regains its original volume. This elasticity ensures that Røros blankets are so voluminous - and remain so for a long time.
