K1:2 cushion is a graphic embroidery design created by Ren\u00e9e Rudebrant. The motif is made in cross stitch and appears in a strict black and white expression, where repetition, rhythm and structure are central elements. The design continues Ren\u00e9e Rudebrant\u2019s work with textile graphics and a consistent, modern design language.<\/p>\n
The cushion measures approx. 40 \u00d7 40 cm and is embroidered on natural white linen (10.5 threads\/cm) with Appleton\u2019s wool. The interaction between the firm structure of the linen and the fullness of the wool gives the embroidery depth and clarity and supports the structure and tactile quality of the graphic pattern. The backing is black cotton. These are carefully selected quality materials that contribute to a durable and clear expression.<\/p>\n
The inspiration for the K1:2 cushion stems from a visit to Zanzibar, where Ren\u00e9e Rudebrant came across a women's cooperative. Here, the women had taken the traditional craft of weaving mats and rdesigned it in the form of modern bags. For Ren\u00e9e, the meeting was a powerful example of how one everyday product can be transformed into another, while preserving and further developing old craft traditions.<\/p>\n
The woven mats from Zanzibar directly inspired the K1:2 cushion. The structure and rhythm of the pattern can be seen as a graphic interpretation of the repetitions and structures of the braid, translated into cross-stitch and textile graphics.<\/p>\n
The K1:2 cushion is aimed at embroiderers and retailers who value designs with a clear reference to craft traditions, combined with a contemporary, graphic expression and high-quality materials.<\/p>\n\n
