Appelsiner – wall piece – Conni Schimmel (CS)

"Appelsiner" is an atmospheric wall piece in which Conni Schimmel combines a botanical motif with an architectural surface in a clear and distinctive expression. The motif shows a branch with ripe oranges extending in front of a closed blue window shutter. The contrast between the organic forms of the fruit and the calm background creates a composition with both warmth and structure.

The composition is deliberately asymmetrical. The movement of the branch forms a diagonal rhythm across the picture plane, while the vertical lines of the window shutter provide counterbalance and calm. The round oranges act as visual anchor points, unifying the motif and creating a natural balance between movement and stability.

The colour palette is clear and harmonious. The warm orange tones stand in strong contrast to the deep blues and the green leaves. Worked in Danish Flower Thread, the embroidery achieves rich colour depth and a soft, matte surface that supports the material quality of the motif. The linen fabric from Haandarbejdets Fremme provides a calm base and a light texture that enhances both colours and stitches.

As a wall piece, Appelsiner fits naturally within Haandarbejdets Fremme’s tradition of motifs where nature, materials, and composition come together as a cohesive whole. The design works equally well as a standalone hanging or as part of a range of botanical and architectural wall pieces. The square format makes it easy to place in both private and more formal settings.

For retailers, Appelsiner represents a decorative and timeless design with broad appeal. The motif speaks to customers who value colour, quality, and narrative, and it integrates naturally into a collection where Haandarbejdets Fremme’s materials and Danish design tradition are central.
