Chili - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

Chilli - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a fresh and decorative motif, where red chillies and green leaves wind their way across the light linen background. The motif has a clear garden and greenhouse atmosphere, bringing to mind warm sunbeams, terracotta pots and plants full of colour. The cushion has a lively expression, where the small red chillies act as clear points of colour among the green leaves and fine stems.

A motif with red chillies and green tendrils

The motif shows many small chillies hanging among leaves and thin, branching stems. The red fruits are distributed across the whole cushion, giving the motif a warm and energetic character. Some chillies hang individually, while others sit closer together in small groups. This creates a natural rhythm that makes the embroidery interesting to look at.

The leaves are embroidered in several green shades. There are dark green leaves, fresher olive-green areas and small lighter details that bring life to the plant. The fine stems wind through the motif and connect the many chillies and leaves. You get the sense of a chilli plant growing freely and filling the surface with its small, strong fruits.

The light linen background gives plenty of air around the motif. This makes the red and green colours stand out clearly, without the expression becoming heavy. The cushion has both a graphic and botanical character, where the repetitions in the chillies create pattern, while the winding branches add movement.

A cushion with warm colours and a green atmosphere

The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the structure of the motif well, with chillies and leaves distributed across the whole surface. The cushion can be used on a sofa, in a garden room, in a summer house, on a bench or as a colourful detail in a kitchen-dining area.

The chilli motif has a particular freshness. It is not a classic floral embroidery, but a plant motif with warmth, edge and humour. The red chillies add energy, while the green leaves bring calm and balance. This makes the cushion easy to combine with both neutral textiles and other colourful cushions.

Chilli - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 10B. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural textile expression, so the red chillies gain glow and the green leaves gain depth. The linen also provides a classic background, where the small details of the motif stand out clearly.
