In 2023, Fiona walked with a close group of friends through the heart of central Australia. This experience of the desert, with its vast skies, evolving tones and captivating moments of reflection, has shaped the design language for this collection.
Each blanket is woven from fine merino wool at Waverley Mills in Tasmania – a material connection that resonates with Fiona’s family heritage in merino farming.
Waverley Mills’ expertise in textile production ensures that the colour stories are realised with precision and depth, translating the trail’s exquisite atmosphere into woven form. The result is a collection that is functional and expressive: blankets that carry warmth and durability while evoking the sensorial richness of the Australian landscape.
This collaboration reflects the shared values of Fiona Lynch Office and Waverley Mills – a respect for natural materials, a commitment to craft, and a belief in design that connects people to place. Desert Field invites the tactile experience of wool while offering a refined, enduring object for contemporary living.
