The inspiration for the plaid comes from the Moire phenomenon. This is a visual effect that occurs when two patterns with e.g. stripes are superimposed on each other, and it feels like they are in motion.
Stripes and the movement that occurred in the design give me associations with the lines and speed of an athletics track. Bislett is a place with local roots for me, and hence the name — designer Hallgeir Homstvedt.
