Machine wash delicate in cold water with a gentle detergent. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry.

Fabric will crinkle slightly after the first wash and will soften with use + love.

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.

With nearly 40,000 wats, or temples, across Thailand, it’s hard to walk around the city without walking past one of these splendid structures. Most wats in Thailand are open and welcoming to visitors of all religions, so I took the opportunity to visit a handful of them during my time there. Coming from a western experience of religion, I wasn’t quite prepared for the brilliant grandiosity of Thai wats. The dwarfing scale of the buildings, the celebration of color, the intricate and ornate decoration that leaned heavily on gilding, repeating patterns and detailed mosaics...it invited reverence and awe for the Buddhist religion and maximalist Thai aesthetic. 

But what really captivated me in a design sense was the shape of the buildings and the heavily emphasized roofs. With layered rooflines that stack upon one another and echo the one below, these ornamented tiers create a dynamic visual rhythm unlike anything I had seen. In true Vacilando form, I scoured through my many photos of wat architecture to find one that could be distilled down to its most essential form, creating a minimalist geometric composition that retains all the dynamism of its inspiration.
