ARTIST-DESIGNED BLANKET
‘DANCING TIGER’ X KHAKOON
This blanket was designed by Brendan Erasmus & Danielle Bakkes, multifaceted musician-artists duo originally from Pretoria, South Africa.
Khakoon is the duo’s brand name, it is home to a selection of tactile and earthy artworks, textiles, ceramics and posters all produced under the notion that “home is the future”.
Whether you snap up an album (of their band named The Great Yawn) or an artwork, the spectrum of their creative output plays homage to their safe space where they create in tandem; he writes, she sings, he starts a painting & she finishes it, their process is nothing short of incredible.
A collaboration was inevitable.

“On our continued quest to embrace nature through art and craft, we've been contemplating how the wild beast or 'tiger' that is life and the world around us, could be better navigated and perhaps even 'tamed' to the degree in which we have more time to spend with our loved ones, enjoying the outdoors, playing, dancing, singing, catching a fish, picking a flower, throwing a stone, or watching the sunset.” – Brendon Erasmus of Khakoon
