Paloma Throw

Size: 54" x 70" (137cm x 178cm)

The Paloma Throw was designed by Maggie Stephenson, a Polish-born artist and illustrator based in Florida, known for her warm, nature-inspired use of form and color. The design for this blanket came from a year when travel wasn't in the cards - so Maggie did it in her mind instead. She pictured tropical summer days in a fun getaway city, and the result is this sun-drenched scene: figures lounging by the water, striped beach umbrellas, swaying palms, and ice cream sundaes on a café table. All rendered in her signature loose line style across a soft blush background with pops of terracotta, gold, and green.

Every Slowdown Studio throw starts as an original artwork. We collaborate with independent artists around the world to translate their creativity into woven form. The Paloma Throw is jacquard woven in the USA from cotton with at least 25% recycled cotton: lightweight, textured, and built to last. Use it as a couch blanket, a bed blanket, a wall art tapestry, or wherever you need a little colour or personality.
