Overview

Discover our merino wool scarf, available solely in the museum shop and inspired by the vibrant colours of the artist Ernst Wilhelm Nay! In collaboration with the British brand Wallace Sewell, we have created an exceptional accessory that elegantly captures Nay’s unique style.

When developing a textile range, we chose to work with an upmarket brand specialised in bespoke products for museums. Wallace Sewell, a well-established British maker was the perfect partner for this. They understood very well how to translate Nay’s unique style onto a scarf without simply replicating the artist’s painting onto a woven material. Developing a scarf inspired by Nay’s Chromatische Scheiben did come though with its own challenges, since the circle as a compositional motif is crucial to this painting, and it is quite a challenge to translate it using the jacquard weaving technique!

We are delighted with the result though: it is a great unisex accessory, colourful and elegant, ideal to add a touch of colour to a grey winter’s day.

To complement our 100% merino wool scarf inspired by Nay, we added a selection of other beautiful accessories by Wallace and Sewell and Koda, a Dutch brand which upcycles fabric leftovers from upholsterers to create a fantastic range of bags.
