Design Notes
Deep Navy and muted Blue Shadow create a tonal palette that gives Peace's traditional Norwegian patterns a subtle, refined appearance. Rather than relying on bold contrast, the two shades of blue bring depth to the intricate eight-petal rose motifs arranged throughout the sweater.
The embroidered front placket, velvet cording, and Norwegian pewter buttons at the cuffs add texture and detail. A heart-shaped pewter zipper pull completes the design, offering a small symbolic reference to the sweater's message of peace.
History
The Peace sweater was created for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, also known as Torino 2006. Its name symbolizes the Olympic ideal of peace, friendship, and unity among nations.
