Almindelig røn – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
"Rowan" is a botanical wall piece in a compact format in which Gerda Bengtsson depicts the rowan tree with precision and clarity. The motif shows the tree’s characteristic, lightly upright growth with a slender trunk and finely branched twigs. The pinnate leaves form an airy crown, where lighter and darker green tones create depth.
The red berries appear in small clusters among the leaves. They function as clear points of colour within the green surface. The contrast between the cool foliage and the warm berries brings life to the motif, while maintaining a calm overall impression.
The composition is simple and centred. The tree stands freely on the surface and appears clearly defined. The slightly asymmetrical crown introduces movement and naturalism. The form is balanced and easy to read.
The colour scheme is botanically accurate and harmonious. The green shades range from light spring green to deeper tones. The darker trunk anchors the motif and provides stability, while the red berries create rhythm within the crown.
Danish Flower Thread gives a matte and nuanced surface that highlights the leaf structure and branching details. The linen from Haandarbejdets Fremme adds warmth and a natural background tone. Together, the materials support the motif’s classic and timeless character.
The format makes the wall piece suitable both on its own and as part of a series of tree motifs. For retailers, Rowan is a strong addition to a botanical assortment focused on Nordic species and high professional quality.
