Longing For Sleep
Borrowing its name from the Estonian title for Chekhov’s novel “Let Me Sleep”, the conceptual collection “Longing for Sleep” is about the haunting wish to sleep during dark wintery times, and refers to the period in the Northern Hemisphere when the days are very short with barely any light. An attempt to materialize the feeling of a wish to stay in bed wrapped in a blanket all day long, the collection created by Marit Ilison, and is made entirely from vintage Soviet wool blankets. The phrase Longing for Sleep had haunted Marit Ilison for years before the project of colorful woolen coats came to fruition after 10 years. Discrete and minimal the collection is embellished with crystals, and expressed through a wide range of colors and patterns.
