Hjerte – wall piece – Dorte Bomholt (DB)

This heart-shaped wall piece is a poetic and personal design in which Dorte Bomholt combines classic embroidery tradition with a clear, decorative expression. The motif is built as a large heart formed by a dense, rhythmic leafy border that encloses the central field and creates a distinct, harmonious frame.

Inside the heart, fine branches wind softly along the shape. They carry small flowers and ornamental elements in subdued blue, pink and warm yellow tones. The colours are light and well balanced, giving the design a gentle and calm character. The small details are evenly distributed, creating a refined rhythm that guides the eye around the form without feeling heavy.

The composition is symmetrical and well proportioned. The outline of the heart stands clearly defined, while the inner decorations add lightness and movement. The central field is left open, allowing space for embroidering a name and date, making the wall piece suitable for special occasions such as weddings, christenings or anniversaries. This option for personalisation is naturally integrated into the design and reinforces the motif’s symbolic meaning.

Danish Flower Thread gives the embroidery a matte, lively surface, with colours that appear clear without becoming harsh. On linen 12B, a fine and precise stitch definition is achieved, highlighting both the graphic borders and the more organic floral forms. The materials support an overall impression of quality and traditional craftsmanship.

In the home, Heart functions as an atmospheric and meaningful wall piece that can be displayed for many years. Within a product range, it represents a timeless motif with broad appeal, both as a gift idea and as a personal embroidery project. For retailers, it is a strong design that combines tradition, symbolism and the possibility of individual customisation.
