K1:1 cushion is a striking embroidery design created by Ren\u00e9e Rudebrant. The motif is embroidered in cross stitch and appears in a consistent black and white expression, where contrast, rhythm and precision are the main elements. The design is characteristic of Ren\u00e9e Rudebrant's work with textile graphics and a strict, visual idiom.<\/p>\n
The cushion measures approx. 40 \u00d7 40 cm and is embroidered on natural white linen (10.5 threads\/cm) with Appleton's wool. The combination of linen and wool provides both structure and depth and highlights the graphic pattern. The black backing brings the expression together and gives the cushion a calm and modern overall impression.<\/p>\n
Behind the rigorous expression lies a strong source of inspiration. Over the years, Ren\u00e9e Rudebrant has traveled regularly to Tanzania and worked on the project Sjysta sjalar \u2013 in English, Tailored Shawls \u2013 for single mothers. Here, textiles are characterized by intense colors and patterns, and combinations that may seem impossible at first glance become natural and alive.<\/p>\n
This experience has shaped her approach to design. She has taken the feeling of freedom in compositions and the courage to let contrasts meet with her into her most austere and reduced works \u2013 here interpreted in a black and white universe.<\/p>\n
The K1:1 cushion is aimed at embroiderers and retailers who are looking for a design with a clear identity, high quality in materials and a story that reaches beyond the immediately visible.<\/p>\n\n
