Perfect as a throw or to place over a couch back, the Artek Siena Wool Blanket is a fine piece of Finnish design. Made from 100% wool, the soft grey background features a repeating black block design to create this neutral print. Patterned yet not overly designed, Alvar Aalto created the Siena fabric print in 1954.
