Strata takes its name from the way the color bands: narrow, uneven lines of grey running through a blue-grey ground, the way sediment shows in a cut hillside. Step back and it reads as a single soft color. Come closer and the lines separate. That double life is what makes it useful. Quiet from the doorway, detailed from the pillow, and a little different every time the fabric bunches or falls. It is the only Aurea with any pattern to it.One size: Queen, 79" × 94" (200 × 240 cm)The weave+Cotton muslin is built loose on purpose. Fine yarns, plenty of air between them, and the result is a cloth that weighs almost nothing yet still covers. Heat escapes rather than collects, which matters if you sleep hot or share a bed with someone who does. Every piece is pre-washed before packing. Wash it again at home and the crinkle deepens, the hand loosens. Open muslin weave, pre-washed before packing Styling+Because the stripe is tonal rather than graphic, Strata mixes without fighting. Put it over a checked flannel sheet in winter or a small floral in spring; the scales are different enough that both survive. Texture does more work here than color: a chunky wool throw, a jute rug, a slubby linen sham, a caned chair. If you want contrast, one solid in charcoal or bone at the pillows will anchor the whole arrangement.Good to know+ How does this compare to a quilt or a blanket?Lighter than either. There's no filling and no nap, just one layer of loosely woven cotton, so it breathes where a blanket insulates and moves where a quilt stays put. Does the pattern read on both sides?Yes, though the striations look slightly softer on the reverse. Either face can go up; most people choose by how the light hits the bed at their time of day. Does it shrink after the first wash?Barely. Pre-washing handles most of it before the piece is finished, and what's left is a fraction of an inch. See it in Clay, Mineral and Sky.
