About Haandarbejdets Fremme
Haandarbejdets Fremme has for many years worked with embroidery that reflects both nature and culture. While floral embroidery designs are among the most well known, there is also a range of motifs inspired by urban environments and architecture.
An interesting detail is that architectural motifs are often used to create calm and structure in embroidery. Repetition and simple forms make them especially suitable for narrow formats such as bell pulls. This design is a fine example of how the shapes of the city can be translated into decorative cross stitch.
