Skovens dyr og spiraltræer – cushion – Marianne Thornberg (MT)

Skovens dyr og spiraltræer is an atmospheric embroidery design in which nature is interpreted through a graphic and playful visual language. The motif is constructed as a repeating surface, where animals and trees are evenly distributed, creating a calm and cohesive whole. The expression is narrative, yet held within a clear and structured composition.

The motif features deer, foxes, and birds alongside lush shrubs and distinctive spiral trees. The tree canopies are formed by ornamental spirals that add depth and rhythm to the pattern. The animals move freely among the elements, bringing life and variation without disrupting the overall balance.

The colour palette is subdued and harmonious. Green tones dominate and are supported by warm earth colours and clear yet gentle contrasts. Light blue birds add lightness and movement, while the reddish animals create focus and repetition across the surface. The interplay of colours gives the cushion a friendly and natural expression.

Danish Flower Thread contributes a lively colour play and a soft structure that highlights the details of the motif. The embroidery is worked on 12B linen fabric from Haandarbejdets Fremme, providing a stable base and a fine, light texture. The materials support the design’s clear shapes and make the cushion suitable for everyday use.
