Too much? Maybe.

But in the best possible way.

We found this embroidered floral artwork in a store in Copenhagen that has since disappeared. The flowers are stitched rather than painted, with thick lines, raised details and colours packed so closely together they almost seem to push each other out of the frame.

Pink lilies, orange flowers, blue striped blooms, green leaves, yellow curls and tiny dark dots all compete for attention, while the navy and white striped background keeps the whole thing moving. Every part of the image seems to have something to say.

What caught our eye was how handmade and generous it feels. The flowers are decorative, but never delicate. Cheerful, but not overly sweet. There is something wonderfully excessive about the whole bouquet, as if someone started arranging flowers and simply refused to stop.

The embroidery makes the image especially tactile. You almost want to touch the stitches before taking in the full composition, following the raised lines and layers of thread with your eyes.

When translated into textiles, we kept that same abundance of colour and texture. The stitched flowers become a rich printed surface, with colours stacked over colours and lines turning into movement as the fabric folds.

A bouquet that clearly had no plans to sit quietly in the corner.
