POP 351 Wednesday 21 July 2010

Today's POP is Ben, thinking he can bromance it up with hand-crocheted throws… Is there a contradiction in there? We're not sure.

I finally woke up to the stark reality mid-picnic on Saturday afternoon that the well-loved, nana-knitted patchwork blanket I’d brought to the park with me was too twee for my aspiring man-about-town image. But I’ve found the perfect masculine replacement, thanks to KTZ designer Marjan Pejoski’s foray into homeware.


His limited edition hand-crocheted throws come in inky blue or laundered orange shades, and are made up of densely packed honeycombs of mismatched hexagons. A happy balance of nostalgic 70s craft looks, and sharp contemporary luxury. Making for a far more sartorially satisfying al fresco experience all round.


Plus for £280 it means I can re-enact the classic bromance ending of Point Break, where Bodhi’s standing on the storm-swept Australian beach wrapped in a soaking travel rug, contemplatively waiting for his perfect set, in the warm and dry comfort of my own home.


Info: The throws are available from the Kokon To Zai
