Julia Wilkens designed this striped shawl with inspiration from the striking wall drawings of the minimalist artist Sol LeWitt. Flowing across its entire length, a larger and a smaller wave create a rhythmic up-and-down motion. The design balances structured precision with a playful touch, while the gradually widening chevron stripes enhance the sense of movement. Lightweight yet generously sized, this shawl is a perfect minimalist accessory — both elegant and comforting.
