Mode Marché
Last Saturday NOOHN presented a selection of blankets at the Mode Marché in the Rotterdamse Schouwburg (theater). On the actual stage a wide variety of young Dutch designers showed their collection to the audience. NOOHN had a fantastic response, featuring products of Zuzunaga, Mae Engelgeer, Hay, MeS, Fabric Copenhagen and much more. A cuddle rack, very colorful, warm and soft!

Today Margot Weyer send me these wonderful little 'still lives'. 'If you like them you can place them on your NOOHN blog' she said. I like! They give a little insight in her work: daily life materials re-used and re-shaped into small paintings. So delicate and atmospheric, each telling little tales. Just as the objects of her Streetcombing project: as-found materials placed in a new context. I cannot help to wonder about their origin and owner? Just visit her blog and see for yourself....makes you want to grab your coat and go out to find stuff....

NOOHN the blanket store is ONLINE
NOOHN - the blanket store - is online. The website is up and running. Exactly one year ago the first ideas came to mind of opening an online blanket store. And now here it is: NOOHN! A wonderful collection of national and international labels. All special and unique because of their design, quality and materials. But one thing all designers and producers have in common: LOVE. Love for their design, love for their product. And this you can see and feel.
Please see for your self and I hope you have as much fun as I have in strolling through all these beautiful blankets. Welcome to NOOHN.

Looking for Sarah ...
Sarah Applebaum lives and works in San Fransisco. 'Her work bridges the gap between the psychological and the psychedelic, bringing freedom and an exploratory ethos to the art making process'. Often she 'weaves' her own person in the art installation, becoming one with her handmade knittet artwork.

Comfortable wood
'It looks and smells familiar but feels strange, as it is able to move and form in unexpected ways' - This wonderful plaid is part of the 'Wooden Textiles' collection by Elisa Strozyk, a textile designer from Berlin. The blanket is half wood-half textile and can be shaped in all different ways ...... like a blanket. (Photos by Sebastian Neeb)

Proud merino
The Merino is originally from a Berber tribe in the North of Africa. Because of the many folds in the skin sheep can produce up to ten pounds of wool per year. The structure of the wool is so special because per square centimeter up to 10 times more hair grows than with the average sheep. That gives the wool its very soft texture.
