Juletræer – Christmas tree skirt – Ida Winckler (IW)
"Christmas Trees" is a striking and atmospheric Christmas tree skirt designed by Ida Winckler. The design is based on repetition, symmetry, and a clear graphic language, with evident roots in the classical Nordic embroidery tradition.
The motif is composed of square panels. Each panel contains either a stylised Christmas tree or a geometric ornament. Together, the panels form a calm and coherent whole that frames the base of the Christmas tree in a balanced way. The composition is structured and orderly, while variation in the tree shapes creates a lively rhythmic flow.
The Christmas trees appear simple and almost iconic. Small cross-stitch details surrounding the motifs add lightness and fine nuance. The overall impression remains clear and easy to read, combining decoration with disciplined form.
The colour palette is classic and effective. The strong red colour stands in clear contrast to the natural-toned hessian, creating a warm and tradition-rich expression. Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme gives the stitches body and depth, emphasising the handcrafted quality of the piece.
Hessian as the base fabric adds a robust and authentic character. Its coarse structure works beautifully with the dense cross-stitching, making the Christmas tree skirt well suited for placement around the base of the tree. The piece functions both practically and decoratively.
Christmas Trees – Christmas tree skirt – Ida Winckler (IW) is a design with high recognisability. It fits naturally into homes where embroidery is an integral part of Christmas decoration. For retailers, it is a strong seasonal product with a clear identity and solid demand.
