Stölzl Blanket - Indigo

Description & details

In 2019, Wallace Sewell was commissioned to design a new edition of Gunta Stölzl's original 'Prellerdecke' as part of the Bauhaus's hundredth year. The project was initiated by Jörg Klambt, the founder of the design workshop at the Bauhaus Dessau, where the first Prellerhaus ceilings in the weaving mills were produced in 1926. Since the original draft has been lost, Wallace Sewell realized and redesigned the design using Gunta Stölz's daughter Monika Stadler and archive drawings and photographs.

Gunta Stölzl was of fundamental importance for the weaving department of the Bauhaus. When the Bauhaus moved to Dessau, Stölzl, who was a master of weaving, designed a blanket for the student dormitory of the 'Prellerhaus'. The original is a bold interplay of horizontal and vertical, positive and negative.

Through textile detective work, Emma and Harriet analyzed an existing photo of the original ceiling. Sketches and color patterns followed a more detailed design development, which was carried out by hand in our studio on small looms before they were woven in a weaving in Lancashire in original size.

The Wallace Sewell Prellerhaus ceiling is as close as possible to the original and takes up the rhythm and simplicity of Guntas Design. Wallace Sewell has also designed four new color variants that maintained the tonal balance and design of the Bauhaus and at the same time updated to a more contemporary color palette.
