Thanon Quilt
Named after the Thai word for “road” and inspired by the tangle of wires and power lines on a Bangkok street lamp, the minimalist Thanon Quilt is as bold, with a contrasting strip of terracotta cotton, as it is subtle, with contrasting diagonal stitching that mimics the power lines.

Add a hanging sleeve to turn your quilt into a piece of wall art. The sleeve is made with the same fabric as the quilt back and lies flat when not hanging, so you can still use it as a quilt.

My first day walking through the street of old Bangkok was a literal feast for the senses. Smells wafting from street vendors, endless streams of motor scooters whizzing by, and the sounds of a new city to explore. Not to mention I was severely jet lagged after the longest westward flight of my life. We ventured out of our hotel to roam the streets in search of coffee and something to eat and as we walked down the main street (“thanon” in Thai) and stopped to cross, I looked up and saw the most beautiful mess of power lines competing for a spot on a slinky pole. It was almost miraculous how they all stayed up, with thin black wires running towards and away from the central pole in each and every direction. The effect was almost like a spider web. The image struck me and solidified the ordered chaos ethos that echoed throughout the rest of my travels through Thailand.
**The Thai government started an urban renewal project in 2016 to begin burying power lines underground in order to prevent injury, blackouts, and declutter Bangkok’s streets.
