Tulip 02 is a coffee placemat with a finely balanced expression, where the motif is reduced to a few precisely placed elements. A gently opening tulip and a bud appear almost floating against the light linen ground, giving the placemat a quiet and elegant character.<\/p>\n
The composition is defined by the large area deliberately left without embroidery. This gives the motif space to breathe and allows the texture of the fabric to come clearly forward. The vertical drawn-thread lines emphasise the form and create a subtle rhythm that adds depth without dominating the overall impression.<\/p>\n
The colour palette is restrained and nuanced. Soft pink and violet tones in the flower interact gently with the green leaves and stems. Danish Flower Thread provides a soft, living play of colour, where transitions appear calm and harmonious against the natural linen.<\/p>\n
The design works particularly well as a coffee placemat, where the simple motif creates a sense of calm around the table setting. The placemat can stand alone or be combined with other designs from the Tulip series for a cohesive yet varied expression. It is well suited both for private homes and for retailers seeking a classic, timeless textile design rooted in a clear Danish design tradition.<\/p>\n
Tulip 02 is a fine example of Ellen Marie Rodil\u2019s assured sense of balance and proportion, and her understated botanical expression, where few means create a complete and lasting design.<\/p>\n\n
