Details

This 100% woven cotton blanket features Ascidiae (Sea Squirts), Plate 85 from Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature). Published in 1904, the scientific illustration brings together an extraordinary variety of ascidians, also known as sea squirts or tunicates, against a dark background that makes their intricate forms and vivid colors especially striking.

Haeckel arranged both solitary and colonial sea squirts into an elaborate study of natural structure. Branching forms, geometric rosettes, delicate spines, and patterned surfaces appear in shades of orange, turquoise, gold, green, and coral. The result sits somewhere between marine biology, natural history, and art, which was very much the point of Kunstformen der Natur: revealing the remarkable shapes, symmetry, and variety found throughout the living world.

The blanket translates that detailed marine illustration into woven cotton, giving the artwork a tactile, textile quality while retaining the deep background and colorful forms that make Ascidiae so distinctive. Colorful fringed edges complete the woven construction.

For anyone drawn to Ernst Haeckel, marine biology, natural history, scientific illustration, or particularly strange corners of the ocean, this is a decidedly specific piece of art for the home. Specific taste is still taste.
