Kronhjort med kid - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT)

"Kronhjort med kid" (Red Deer with Fawn) - cushion - Marianne Thornberg (MT) is an embroidery kit with a calm and poetic motif. Here, a large red deer and a small fawn are embroidered in white on natural-coloured linen. Around them are fine branches, small luminous forms and a large round disc in the upper corner. What makes the motif special is that it does not settle on one fixed interpretation. It can be experienced as a winter motif with snow and sunshine. But it can also be seen as a quiet nature motif with stars and moonlight. This makes the cushion open, personal and atmospheric.

A motif that can be interpreted in several ways

The large red deer stands calmly on the right side of the motif. Its antlers spread beautifully and give the cushion a striking expression. Further down stands the small fawn. Together, they create a fine balance between strength and vulnerability.

Around the animals are small white forms scattered across the surface. They may look like snow falling quietly over the landscape. They may also look like stars in a clear sky. It depends on the eye that sees them.

At the top is a large round circle. It can be experienced as a moon shining over the animals. It can also be interpreted as a sun, giving the motif a gentle and light expression. This double possibility is exactly what makes the embroidery feel particularly alive.

The branches in the upper left corner add a fine frame and a natural calm to the motif. The whole composition feels simple, yet it contains plenty of atmosphere. It is a motif where you can keep discovering new nuances.

A cushion with calm, nature and personal atmosphere

The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the simple structure of the motif beautifully. The large deer, the small fawn and the open surfaces give the embroidery air and calm.

The cushion suits a sofa, armchair, bedroom or summer house. It can be used during the winter months, but it does not need to belong only to Christmas. Because the motif can be read as winter, evening, night or quiet daylight, the cushion can be used widely in the home.

The colour palette is simple and harmonious. The white embroidery stands beautifully against the undyed background. This gives a Nordic and light expression that works well with wood, linen and other calm materials.
