AASE SWEATER boasts a graphic pattern, which with its weaving repetitions, evokes a sleek and contemporary Nordic look. The pattern is inspired by the knitwear designer Åse Lund Jensen, particularly her enchanting pattern named “Skæl”, which was originally crafted for a tote design.
Throughout the 50s and 60s, Åse pioneered an iconic style with focus on blending patterns and rhythmic decrease and increase in her pattern knitwork. These details are revived in a modern context within this design, paying respect to the original craftsmanship. Aase sweater is designed for the Isager Archives 2024 collection, a collaborative effort with Isager.
