Sommersol – wall piece – Edith Hansen (EH)

"Sommersol" is a distinctive wall piece designed by Edith Hansen, in which the light and lushness of summer are interpreted through a graphic and calm visual language. The motif shows a warm sun emerging behind a dense network of branches and leaves, forming a stylised nature image with a clear sense of rhythm.

The branches move diagonally across the surface, creating a lively pattern where leaves repeat in varying sizes. This repetition gives the composition structure and cohesion, while also introducing movement and depth. The sun acts as a unifying centre, adding warmth and balance to the motif.

The colour palette is subdued and harmonious. The leaves are rendered in cool green and blue-green tones, which stand in gentle contrast to the sun’s golden hue. The interplay between cool and warm colours gives the motif a clear summer character without becoming decoratively heavy.

The expression is graphic and modern, yet firmly rooted in classic embroidery tradition. Edith Hansen’s visual language is characterised by simplicity and repetition, where elements of nature are reduced to clear forms. This lends the wall piece a timeless quality that suits a wide range of interiors.

Danish Flower Thread provides an even structure and calm colour areas that support the graphic character of the motif. The quality of the thread ensures precise stitches and clearly defined forms. The 10B linen fabric from Haandarbejdets Fremme offers a stable, lightly textured base that enhances the clarity of the embroidery.

As a finished wall piece, Sommersol functions as an atmospheric nature motif that brings light and calm into the room. The design appeals to retailers seeking graphic wall hangings inspired by nature, with a strong and simple expression for their assortment.
