Æbler - table runner - Edith Hansen (EH)

"Æbler" (Apples) - table runner - Edith Hansen (EH) is a refined embroidery design in cross stitch with a simple and decorative motif. The red apples appear to “hang” from long vertical lines, creating a calm and graphic expression with a clear sense of rhythm.

The motif works with repetition and balance. The apples are positioned at varying heights, adding movement and life to the narrow table runner. The warm red shades stand out beautifully against the light background and are enhanced by the fine dark details of the stems.

The simple composition gives the embroidery a modern character, even though the design language remains classic. The long lines guide the eye through the motif, making the table runner elegant on both small and long tables.

Apples - table runner - Edith Hansen (EH) fits beautifully into Nordic interiors, where simple forms and clear colours are allowed to stand out. The motif works equally well for everyday use and as a decorative detail for special occasions.

The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B using Danish Flower Thread. The materials provide clear stitches and a beautiful texture that suits the graphic motif perfectly.

The elongated format makes the table runner suitable for dining tables, sideboards or coffee tables. At the same time, the motif adds warmth and colour without appearing heavy.
