Pendleton Wool Blanket

Since 1909, Pendleton Woolen Mills in Oregon have woven trade blankets whose bold, saturated geometric bands stack in blocky symmetry across a deep earth-brown wool field. Scarlet, harvest gold, navy, and forest green march in stepped chevrons and diamonds, drawing on Native American-inspired stripe motifs like Glacier National Park and Chief Joseph.

This is a system built from the woolen body outward: the page itself is the dark brown wool, never paper. Type is heavy slab and condensed display, color blocking is high-contrast, and undyed cream wool appears only as a thin accent stripe — a woven loom translated into layout.

自 1909 年起，俄勒冈州的彭德尔顿羊毛纺织厂就以贸易毛毯闻名：在深棕色的羊毛地色上， 饱和浓烈的几何色带层层堆叠，对称而有力。猩红、丰收金、藏青与森林绿排成阶梯状的人字纹 与菱形，灵感来自冰川国家公园、约瑟夫酋长等以原住民条纹母题命名的经典毯款。

这套设计从毛毯本身出发：页面就是那块深棕色羊毛，绝不是白纸。字体是厚重的板衬线与压缩体， 配色高对比、块面分明，未染色的本色奶白只作为一道窄窄的点缀条出现，从不铺满背景——一架 织机被翻译成了版面。
