Pile - cushion - Ingrid Plum (IP)

"Pile" (Arrows) - cushion - Ingrid Plum (IP) is an embroidery kit with a graphic pattern where repeated arrow shapes cover the entire front of the cushion. The arrow motifs are arranged closely in staggered rows, creating a lively sense of movement across the square surface.
The colours are kept in calm blue and green shades. Light areas meet darker tones, giving the pattern both depth and variation. At the same time, the limited colour palette makes the cushion harmonious and easy to combine with other interiors.
The embroidery is stitched with Flora Wool on Hessian. The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm.

Repeated arrows create movement

The motif is based on a simple arrow shape. It is repeated again and again across the entire cushion, forming a dense and continuous pattern.
The arrows run in diagonal lines. This guides the eye through the motif and gives the cushion a clear sense of direction. The shapes alternate between different blue and green tones, so the rows never appear identical.
Some arrows are light and clear. Others are more subdued in blue-green and olive-green shades. The colour changes make it possible to follow the individual shapes, even though they are placed closely together.
It is a motif that looks different from a distance and up close. From a distance, the overall rhythm appears first. Closer up, the individual arrows and colour changes become more visible.

A geometric pattern with textile character

Arrows has a simple geometric design language. There are no flowers, animals or figurative elements. Instead, shape, repetition and colour create the entire expression.
The angular arrows contrast with the soft shape of the cushion. This gives the design a fine tension between the graphic and the textile.
The repetition may also bring to mind classic woven patterns and herringbone structures. Here, however, the design is built from distinct arrow shapes that can each be followed through the motif.
The colours keep the overall design calm. Blue, light green and muted green sit close together and create a natural play of colour without strong contrasts.

A cushion for both classic and simple interiors

The finished cushion measures 40 x 40 cm. The square format suits the regular pattern well and provides space for many repetitions.
"Pile" (Arrows) - cushion can be used on a sofa, armchair or in the bedroom. The blue and green colours work well with wood, wool and other natural materials.
The motif can also be combined with plain cushions. This allows the graphic pattern to become the decorative detail.
Although the design is striking, the colours are subdued. This makes the cushion easy to use in a room where you want pattern without a very colourful expression.

Flora Wool on Hessian

The embroidery is stitched with Flora Wool. The fullness of the wool yarn suits the large graphic shapes well and gives the arrow motifs a distinct texture.
The fabric is Hessian. Its pronounced structure provides a robust base for the embroidery and supports the cushion’s textile character.
The motif consists of many repetitions, creating a steady rhythm while stitching. At the same time, the colour changes add variation as the pattern gradually emerges row by row.
