Bordeaux - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)
"Bordeaux" (Burgundy) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a warm and richly detailed pattern. The motif fills the entire surface of the cushion with ornaments, flower forms, spirals and repeated pattern fields. The colours are in burgundy, orange, purple and light shades. This gives the cushion a rich and decorative expression with both warmth and structure.
An ornamented motif with warm colours
The motif is built around a symmetrical composition. In the centre, there is a large ornamented form with flower-like leaves and fine lines. It functions as the natural focal point of the cushion.
Around the centre, the pattern continues in mirrored fields. There are large flower forms, soft curves, small checks, spirals and elongated pattern sections. The many details give the embroidery a lively expression.
The colours are warm and deep. Burgundy and purple give the motif weight. Orange and peach-toned shades add glow and warmth. The light areas create contrast and make the pattern easier to read.
The cushion has a clear graphic structure. At the same time, the motif feels soft because of the rounded forms. The spirals and flower forms give the cushion movement. The repeated fields create calm and balance.
A cushion with pattern, rhythm and textile depth
The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the symmetry of the motif well. The pattern spreads out from the centre and fills the entire surface.
Burgundy - cushion can be used on a sofa, in an armchair, in a summer house or in a room with warm colours. It works well with natural materials, wood, linen and subdued textiles. It can also be used as a contrast in a light and simple interior.
The cushion is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the colours a soft and textile expression. The warm tones gain depth, while the light areas create air in the motif.
The embroidery is stitched on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. The fabric provides a classic background with a fine structure. Here, the small patterns, outlines and colour shifts stand out clearly.
