Skøjtenisser – Christmas tree skirt – Pelse Asboe (PA)

Skøjtenisser is an atmospheric Christmas tree skirt designed by Pelse Asboe. The motif depicts elves in motion, skating, gliding, and falling in a simple winter landscape. The figures are placed around the surface, forming a lively, circular movement around the centre of the Christmas tree.

The elves are stitched in red and pink tones, creating warmth and a sense of familiarity. These colours stand in clear contrast to the calm background and the small white snowflakes. The snowflakes are evenly repeated, adding lightness and air to the motif. A stylised, leafless tree serves as a visual anchor within the composition.

The composition is built on repetition and variation. Each figure forms part of an overall rhythm, with subtle shifts in posture and movement. This gives the motif life without disturbing the overall balance. The expression is graphic and well balanced, with a clear Nordic clarity.

Original Wool from Haandarbejdets Fremme gives the embroidery depth and structure. The natural fullness of the yarn supports the clear colour areas and strong contours. The hessian fabric adds a coarse and authentic surface that enhances the handcrafted character. Together, the materials create a robust and honest Christmas tree skirt.

Within a collection, Skøjtenisser functions as a distinctive Christmas product with high recognisability. The design combines humour and tradition in a timeless visual language. The Christmas tree skirt is well suited for retailers seeking a classic motif with a strong design identity and is a strong addition to a curated selection of high-quality Christmas embroidery.
