Kors – book cover – Vibeke Olris (VO)
Cross – hymn book cover – Vibeke Olris (VO) is an embroidery in which the classic cross motif is interpreted in a simple and graphic expression. The surface is built up from repeated cross shapes presented in varying shades of green. They are slightly offset, forming a pattern that is lively yet calm.
The colour palette ranges from light, almost muted greens to deeper, darker tones. This variation creates depth across the surface and lends the embroidery a subtle textile character. From a distance, the pattern appears uniform, while closer inspection reveals fine tonal nuances.
The composition is structured and well balanced. The repeated forms create rhythm without becoming dominant. As a hymn book cover, the embroidery wraps around the book, adding tactile and visual quality that unites function and aesthetics. Danish Flower Thread provides richness of colour and a vibrant surface. Linen 12B from Haandarbejdets Fremme supports the precision of the stitches and highlights the graphic pattern.
The design is rooted in Haandarbejdets Fremme’s tradition of embroidery featuring clear symbolism and carefully considered composition. In a retail assortment, the model represents a timeless, church-inspired motif with broad appeal to customers seeking embroidery defined by symbolic content, restrained colour harmony and solid Danish craftsmanship quality.
