Tekla: The Colors of Le Corbusier

February 21, 2023

Tekla, in collaboration with Les Couleurs Suisse AG, the exclusive licensor of the original Le Corbusier colours, released their second collection of complimentary and contrasting blankets. The limited-edition collection captured by Ben Beagent is presented at Le Lac, the holiday home designed for the parents of Swiss-French architect, Le Corbuisier, in Switzerland. Mirrored in the blanket design, the home and Le Corbuisier’s architectural polychromy colors are featured in seven blankets with either checked or striped typologies.

“There’s a common belief that Le Corbusier was a minimalist, but when researching, we found archive photos that revealed his personal living spaces were filled with different textures, colours, and objects,” said Charlie Hedin, Founder and Creative Director at Tekla.

Woven by artisanal producers in Scotland, the checked blankets feature a tonal colourway with a textured blend of cashmere and lambswool finished with whipstitching at the outer edge. As for the striped blankets, 100% lambswool is finished with a natural, fringed edge in more vibrant colors.

Escaping the Glass Cage

November 19, 2024

For years, she stood still, watching life rush past her, a quiet observer behind the glass. Now, the glass is broken, and she steps out into the unknown. She walks through the city, caught between two worlds—part of it, yet apart from it.

Her journey is quiet but bold, searching for something she’s never understood, something just out of reach. On church steps and under glowing city lights, she questions everything: the rules, the past, and where she truly belongs. Each step feels both freeing and uncertain.

A curious soul in a borrowed life, she keeps moving forward, leaving behind only whispers of her escape, like a fleeting shadow in the night.
