Iris – chair seat – H. M. Dronning Margrethe II (HMDM)

Iris – chair seat – H. M. Queen Margrethe II (HMDM) is an embroidery in which the flower’s character and richness of colour form a striking centre within the composition. The large iris unfolds with broad, curved petals layered in movement. Blue and violet tones blend into one another, highlighted by lighter areas that give the motif depth and vitality.

The flower is framed by a circular border in contrasting colours. This round form gathers the composition and creates calm around the motif. Beyond the ring lies a background divided into fields of green and blue shades. Small, repeated circles establish a steady rhythm and add structure to the surface. The contrast between the organic iris and the regular background gives the embroidery balance and strength.

The colour scheme is bold and clear. The cool blue tones of the flower stand sharply against the deeper green ground and the warm accents in the border’s red and yellow fields. The matte surface of the linen yarn adds a natural tactility, while the firm structure of the stramaj supports the graphic expression.

As a chair seat, the embroidery adds character to both classic and modern furniture. It functions as a decorative focal point and enhances the overall impression of a room. Within a retail assortment, the design offers a strong artistic expression with a distinct signature, appealing to customers who value colour, composition and high-quality Danish embroidery tradition.
