Sisu (Kvadrat)

Sisu is a checkered woolen textile designed by the celebrated designer Nanna Ditzel, linking to the iconic Hallingdal textile created in 1965. Its expression is reminiscent of viewing Hallingdal through a magnifying glass. Woven with thick, voluminous woollen yarns, Sisu features a bold yet subtle checked pattern where blocks of colour play across the surface, creating a tactile and rhythmic effect.
