Blade - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

Blade ("Leaves") is a graphic and calm embroidery design in which large, striking leaves appear to float lightly on a pale background. The motif is inspired by broad, tropical leaf forms with pronounced veins and soft cut-outs, giving the cushion a recognisable and contemporary expression. The leaves vary in size and placement, creating balance and movement without visual restlessness.

The colour palette is kept in shades of green – from deep, saturated tones to lighter green highlights – adding depth and life to the leaves. The light background emphasises the motif and gives the cushion an airy, light appearance that fits naturally into both Nordic and more colourful interiors. A narrow green border finishes the cushion and elegantly ties the design together.

A design in the spirit of Haandarbejdets Fremme

The cushion is embroidered on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B, a classic and stable fabric that supports the clean lines of the motif. Combined with Danish Flower Thread, this results in an even stitch definition and a surface with beautiful texture. The choice of materials ensures that the leaves appear clear and well defined, while the cushion retains a soft, textile quality.

Calm, repetition, and clear form

The motif is particularly well suited to embroiderers who enjoy calm projects with repetition and clear shapes. Each leaf is worked in larger colour areas, creating a pleasant stitching flow and a finished result with strong visual impact. With its size of 40 × 40 cm, the cushion works well on its own or combined with other embroidered cushions.

A strong choice for a curated assortment

The design fits naturally into a range focused on timeless Danish embroidery. At House of Needlework, designs from Haandarbejdets Fremme are selected with attention to quality, form, and long-term relevance. The Leaves cushion has an expression that appeals to customers seeking calm, nature, and graphic simplicity.
