Tulipan 04 – placemat – Ellen Marie Rodil (EMR)
Tulip 04 is a quiet and elegant coffee placemat in which Ellen Marie Rodil works with a small number of carefully chosen elements. The motif consists of a tulip and a bud, placed with deliberate distance on the textile surface. The large areas of undecorated fabric give the motif room to breathe and allow the eye to rest.
The composition is lightly asymmetrical and defined by balance. The tulip and bud appear as small, independent accents within the surface, creating a calm rhythm. The vertical stitch lines in the fabric extend the upright character of the motif and support the overall sense of order and tranquillity.
The colour palette is restrained and refined. Soft pink and violet tones in the flower interact with the green shades of the stem and bud. Danish Flower Thread provides a matte, textile surface in which the colours appear harmonious and well balanced. The light ground of the linen adds warmth and emphasises the lightness of the motif.
The coffee placemat is suited to a simple and considered table setting, where quality and craftsmanship are given space. It works well on its own or in combination with other placemats from the Tulip series. The format is ideal for smaller table settings where attention to detail is key.
For retailers, Tulip 04 represents a reliable choice for customers seeking a Nordic, timeless textile with botanical inspiration. The design conveys calm, precision, and a confident understanding of materials, fitting naturally into a range focused on classic Danish embroidery.
