Cristina Linassi- Venezia - Tablecloth (9) - 170 cm - 37 cm - Handmade embroidery on linen.

Set of 3 white linen strips decorated with 3 red snowflake bows and accompanied by 6 red linen napkins. The set seats 6 people. The strips measure 170x37 cm, while the napkins, which are quite large, measure 50x50 cm.
The stripes are finished on all four sides with a raw edge and embroidered in the center with three dynamic snowflakes in satin stitch, whose profile is elegantly highlighted with a thin thread of gold or silver. The snowflake is handcrafted, sewn by hand and machine: the design is transferred by hand onto the fabric, which is embroidered after creating a padding that gives a three-dimensional character to the embroidery, a hallmark of handmade work. The process is carried out manually on a loom under the machine. The different movements of the embroiderer's hands cause small variations between the different embroideries, adding a touch of originality to the work. Seventy percent of the work is done manually, with only the finishing done by machine.
The choice to use runners instead of a tablecloth is decidedly modern and practical because it allows for the use of the number of runners needed, corresponding to the number of diners.
