Renaissance Sweater

From: €144.00

by Elenor Mortensen

Renaissance by Elenor Mortensen is a quiet homage to renewal — a rebirth traced in stitches.

Inspired by frozen landscapes where nature rests before awakening again, this pullover captures that suspended moment between stillness and transformation. The delicate yoke motif feels almost architectural, echoing ornamental details of Renaissance art while remaining soft, organic, and timeless.

Like the Renaissance itself — a return to beauty, balance, and craftsmanship — this design celebrates harmony: between fibers, colors, and textures. The weight of Fior di Cashmere is identical to our Fior di Lino, a thoughtful consistency that allows you to freely mix and match the two collections and create your own refined color combinations.

We explored this dialogue between materials in the Renaissance sweater by Elenor Mortensen, knit for us by Anja @ahrknit. For those who love a timeless, understated aesthetic, the pairing of Ivory Plume in Fior di Cashmere and Caffelatte in Fior di Lino is truly a match made in heaven. Together, they form a neutral palette that feels calming and luminous, while the subtle contrast between fibers adds depth and a beautifully tactile surface.

Renaissance is more than a sweater — it is a quiet act of revival, where tradition meets modern sensibility, and where every stitch invites you to slow down, reflect, and begin again.

Der Renaissance Sweater ist ein top down gestrickter Pullover mit schmalen Ärmeln und lockerem Sitz am Körper.
