Bearaby: origin & history.
Kathrin Hamm launched Bearaby’s first weighted-bedding collection in December 2018. A personal interest in the feeling of resting under weight developed into a design-led collection, with blankets meant to remain visible on a sofa or bed. Cotton Napper became its recognisable form. Rather than hiding the construction inside a conventional duvet, it uses thick knitted loops, leaving the weight and the open structure visually connected.

A few pieces tell the story in their own way, through a shape, a material or a familiar gesture.
A closer look.
What catches our eye.
The large knit makes the blanket’s construction visible, giving it the presence of a textile object as well as a place in an evening routine. Weight should be chosen deliberately, not by appearance alone.
