Vancouver-based weaver Diane Thorp has fashioned this eye-popping bed covering out of hand-picked vintage scarves from the 60s and 70s. Each piece is unique, resulting in a fabulous work of art that will punch up any boring old bedroom. The pieces pictured feature a rare Montreal Expo 67 souvenir scarf, a few Vera scarves, and even a Ferragamo. The $395 bedcovers are reversible, swinging instantly from traditional to modern – flip it over to reveal its underside in 100% hemp, in more subdued tones of sage/khaki green.
