Pæon – chair seat – H. M. Dronning Margrethe II (HMDM)
"Peony" is a striking and decorative chair seat centred around a large, dominant flower. The motif gathers into a circular form, where the peony’s petals unfold in soft, curved layers around a luminous centre. The flower appears bold and stylised.
The composition is clearly structured. The round floral form contrasts with the patterned background of vertical stripes and repeated dot motifs, creating rhythm and balance across the surface. The eye is naturally drawn to the centre before moving outward into the repeated background elements.
The colours range from pink and red to green and dark blue tones. The light flower centre adds depth and emphasises the movement of the petals. The overall impression is both intense and harmonious.
The design is executed as embroidery in linen yarn on stramaj. The choice of materials provides a firm and durable structure suitable for furniture use. The embroidery is dense and covering, giving the surface a distinct textile character.
As a product, Peony combines artistic embroidery with functional use. The chair seat is well suited to retailers seeking strong design pieces with a clear signature and high quality within embroidery.
