<p>Pour l&#8217;édition de <strong><a href="http://www.maison-objet.com/" target="_blank">Maison &amp; Objet ethnic chic.MIC</a></strong> de janvier 2011, Reflexdéco a décerné le prix &laquo;&nbsp;Les Découvertes&nbsp;&raquo; aux couvertures en laine de la filature américaine <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.pendleton-usa.com/thumbnail/Home-Blankets/Blankets/JACQUARD-BLANKETS/1694/c/1821/pc/1816.uts?currentIndex=0&amp;pageSize=60&amp;defaultPageSize=12&amp;mode=viewall&amp;categoryId=1821&amp;parentCategoryId=1816&amp;subCategoryId=1694&amp;type=thumbnail&amp;subCategoryId=1694&amp;type=thumbnail&amp;parentCategoryId=1816&amp;categoryId=1821" target="_blank">Pendleton Woolen Mills</a>.</p>
<p>Depuis six générations, la famille Bishop possède et exploite une filature qui produit des lainages d&#8217;une incroyable beauté et qualité. De l&#8217;achat d&#8217;une usine en 1909 au bout de la ligne de chemin de fer de Pendleton dans l&#8217;État de l&#8217;Oregon, en passant par des années de vaches maigres pendant la Grande Dépression et les années de guerre lorsque la société fabriquait des couvertures pour les militaires, la famille Bishop a toujours produit des couvertures, des robes et des châles pour les Indiens d&#8217;Amérique.</p>
<p>Toujours très prisés par les tribus indiennes, les modèles s&#8217;inspirent des légendes, de la mythologie et des grands personnages et héros de l&#8217;histoire indienne. Bien avant la colonisation des États-Unis, les couvertures étaient faites à partir de cuirs ou de peaux de petits animaux cousues ou tissés de laine, de plumes, de duvet, d&#8217;écorce et de coton. Les couvertures de laine sont une monnaie d&#8217;échange entre tribus : les plus valeureuses arborent des couleurs éclatantes et des dessins exécutés avec finesse. On les échange contre des bijoux en argent, de la laine ou d&#8217;autres objets de valeur. Les couvertures colorées font aussi partie intégrante du quotidien et des rituels: dot, mariages, cadeaux, prix de danse, baptêmes ou funérailles (les couvertures enveloppaient le corps dans le cercueil ou un cercueil était lui-même recouvert d&#8217;une couverture pour garder l&#8217;être aimé au chaud durant son voyage).</p>
<p>Perpétuant croyances et traditions ancestrales, <strong>Pendleton Woolen Mills</strong> inscrit sa philosophie dans un élan philanthrope en reversant une partie de ses fonds à des ONG pour venir en aide aux Indiens d&#8217;Amérique.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">About the history of the blankets :<em> &laquo;&nbsp;To a native Oregonian, there are few company names that inspire as much confidence and pride as Pendleton Woolen Mills. For six generations, the Bishop family has owned and operated a company that consistently produces woolens of incredible beauty and quality. </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From the 1909 purchase of a scouring mill at the railhead along the Oregon Trail in Pendleton, Oregon, through lean years during the Great Depression and the war years when the company produced blankets for the military, to the present time, the Bishop family has produced Indian blankets, robes and shawls which are highly prized by much of the Native American population.</p>
<p>One of the reasons for the popularity of these products is the care taken by the pattern designers to learn about the native mythologies and design preferences of their customers. In the earliest years, Joe Rawnsley, who was considered a gifted talent on the jacquard loom, spent time with the local natives of northeastern Oregon to develop preferences of color and design (we now call this &laquo;&nbsp;market research&nbsp;&raquo;). He would then interpret the ideas gleaned from the native peoples into blanket designs using modern technologies that could express pattern ideas in much greater detail and in more vivid coloration&#8217;s than could be expressed by traditional weaving methods.</p>
<p>With the success of these first designs, Mr. Rawnsley spent six months in the native Southwest developing ideas for designs which might specifically appeal to the tribes of this region. He returned with hundreds of designs to be interpreted into his weaving processes.</p>
<p>In pre-Columbus North America, blankets were made from hides or pelts of smaller animals which had been sewn together or woven from wool, feathers, down, bark and cotton and, in some areas, shredded cedar bark. When the Europeans came to this country and bartered with the native peoples, wool blankets had great value in trading and the brighter the better. Most of the earlier trading blankets were plaids and block designs like the traditional Hudson&#8217;s Bay blankets. Jacquard loomed Pendleton Indian blankets with their brilliant colors and sharp details became very popular after their introduction into what was known as the &laquo;&nbsp;Indian trade&nbsp;&raquo;.</p>
<p>Car loads of blankets traveled from Pendleton, Oregon to the Southwest tribes to be exchanged for silver jewelry, wool or other items of value. The colorful blankets were integrated into everyday and ceremonial uses; part of a dowry, weddings, gift giving, pow wows, dance prizes, naming ceremonies, funerals and memorials (sometimes blankets are packed in a coffin or a coffin is lined with a blanket to keep the loved one warm on his journey).<br />
During the past 25 years, Pendleton Woolen Mills has developed a series of Legendary blankets which are based on the beliefs and traditions of their original and most valued customers.&nbsp;&raquo;</p>
