Pæon – cushion – H. M. Dronning Margrethe II (HMDM)
"Peony" – cushion – H. M. Queen Margrethe II (HMDM) is a striking cushion featuring a large, centrally placed flower as its main motif. The petals unfold in soft, undulating forms around a warm, luminous centre. The circular composition creates calmness and visual weight across the surface.
The background consists of vertical stripes in deep green and blue tones. Small, repeated dot motifs establish a steady rhythm and support the volume of the flower. The contrast between the organic blossom and the structured ground gives the cushion a strong graphic expression.
The colours range from pink and coral to deep red and golden yellow. Nuanced transitions within the petals add depth and movement. The overall impression is both intense and harmonious.
The design is executed as embroidery in linen yarn on stramaj. The dense stitched surface creates a robust and durable finish suitable for everyday use. The embroidery gives the cushion a distinct textile character and an exclusive feel.
Peony combines artistic embroidery with functional home textile design. The cushion is well suited to retailers seeking characterful design products with strong colour expression and high quality within embroidery.
