These cushions are made using vintage Danish needlepoint and embroidery. Re-crafted to honour the love and effort put into the embroideries, and to give them a stylish new lease of life.
Cushions often come in sets of two or more with a common theme.
Each cushion is unique.
Discarded treasures found in Copenhagenʼs junk shops and flea markets are carefully unpicked and separated from their original setting.
Each embroidery design is sewn onto a backing before being bordered by cloth in complementary colours.
Matching colours and contrasting trim are selected.
The finished product.
