Oh how surprisingly, awfully gorgeous this cross stitch table is in real life. Using a 16th century Italian lace as a starting point she created this laser cut stainless steel table top. Super tasteful. Playful. Witty.
The picture can not give back it’s nobility at all.
Imogen Luddy’s statement:
[Awards: The NEWH Scholarship]
“My textile practice spans wallpapers, fabrics, surfaces and desirable products for interior environments. Working across a wide range of media, including laser-cutting, embroidery, crochet and ceramics, I seek to find new and innovative ways of exploring traditional crafts.
Using antique lace, doilies and embroidered samplers as a starting point, the aim of my final collection is to subvert these traditional practices by ‘digitising’ their structures and reproducing them in unexpected materials.”
