Suzuki Throw

Size: 54" x 70" (137cm x 178cm).

The Suzuki Throw was designed by Shun Sasaki, a Tokyo based graphic designer known for bold compositions that mix typography and illustration. His work has been shown at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, the Yokohama Museum of Art, and the Kanazawa 21st Century Art Museum.

The design is exactly what you'd expect from an artist with that CV: confident, graphic, and full of character. A large pink figure rides a red skateboard against a cobalt blue sky, fluffy white clouds stacked above and Japanese katakana characters reading "(せいかつ)" - meaning "daily life" - framed at the top. It's joyful and a little absurdist, and looks great hung on the wall.

Every Slowdown Studio throw starts as an original artwork. We collaborate with independent artists around the world to translate their creativity into woven form. The Suzuki Throw is jacquard woven in the USA from cotton with at least 25% recycled cotton: lightweight, textured, and built to last. Use it as a couch blanket, a bed blanket, a wall art tapestry, or wherever you need a little colour or personality.
