Kystens blomster - wall piece - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

A botanical look along the Danish coast

The Flowers of the Coast is an elegant and detailed wall piece designed by Gerda Bengtsson. The motif brings together wild plants and flowers as you encounter them along the coast – light, robust and full of character. Each plant stands out clearly, as in a botanical register, and together they create a harmonious and calm overall impression. It is an embroidery project that invites contemplation and gives a quiet joy while working.

Colors, shapes and the rhythm of nature

The color palette is harmonious and natural with green nuances, soft yellow tones and fine touches of pink and purple. The motif has a lightness that gives air around each plant and makes the wall piece suitable for many types of rooms. Many budding artists find that working with the individual flowers gives a special rhythm – like small completed chapters that together tell a larger story about the coastal flora.

Materials and cross-stitch

The wall piece is embroidered in cross stitch on Haandarbejdets Fremme (HF) linen canvas 10B, which gives a fine and even stitch pattern. The quality of the canvas supports the botanical details and gives the motif a light and elegant appearance. The kit comes complete with cross stitch diagram, HF linen canvas 10B, Danish flower yarn and needle, so the embroiderer can get started straight away.

A wall piece with peace and presence

With its elongated shape of 35 × 106 cm, Kystens Blomster fits beautifully above a sideboard, in a hallway or as a quiet element in the living room. The finished embroidery functions as textile art and brings the quiet expression of nature into the home. In the store, the wall piece is a fine example of Gerda Bengtsson's special ability to unite nature studies and embroidery.

A timeless classic in the range

For retailers, Kystens blomster is a stable assortment item. The motif is not trend-sensitive and appeals broadly to embroiderers who love classic Danish embroidery and botanical motifs. At the same time, the format offers good opportunities for upselling in frames and hanging.
