Harlequin Ikigai Terracotta

Hand-picked designs from our archive are combined with references to Henrys ceramic work, resulting in a textural collection that saturates interiors with tonal, earthy colours and interpretive pattern.

This embroidery uses a running stitch with overlaps of colour across the whole collection palette. A statement design, Ikigai is very organic in its form, full of detail and visual intrigue. Ikigai, in Japanese, means ‘a reason to live’ and comes from the concept of living with purpose and joy. This embroidery exemplifies the mindfulness of this craft and the joy that comes from such a full design.
