MAARVEJ SWEATER LIGHT | light version of Mårvej design

Just like Mårvej Sweater, this light version is a cozy sweater with a relaxed fit and lots of refined details. Beginning with a shaped neckband and a yoke that includes twisted rib and a striking colourwork, the design includes a variety of techniques to keep you entertained. The signature feature of Mårvej Sweater are the sleeve stripes, connecting the colourwork of yoke and cuffs. This one is a lighter version of the original chunky design.
The minimalistic design is inspired by the typical decor and corrugated surface of the classic musselmalet dishes. The lines represent the hand-painted decor while the ribbed yoke reminds of the rim of a plate.
This design is a tribute to my childhood holidays in a summerhouse on Mårvej in Ertebølle. A place that lit the spark for a love to Danish design and lifestyle.
