Swiss graphic designer Walter Haettenschweiler drew inspiration from architecture when designing for the Glashof restaurant in Zug. If you reduce the building’s pyramid-shaped skylights to their structure, you are left with squares and triangles. These two geometric shapes run through the restaurant’s graphics.
The reduction of these two shapes creates room for new forms. The Glashof shawl is a triangular shawl of a different kind.
The shawl is knitted from the left tip to the right. Each triangle is knitted one after the other and worked individually.
We recommend solid colours to best showcase the pattern.
This pattern is a collaboration with Otto & Odie.
