"Stockholm designer Johan Lindstén presented a collection of chairs with backrests featuring embroidered country scenes in Stockholm 2010. They are called Embroidery Chairs, the pieces have white wooden seats and turned legs with the embroidery mounted on upholstered backrests. Many hours, many days, many weeks and years have women in older generations spent on embroidery to catch an idyll view. Many with dreams to be a part of that life with a nice little red cottage close to the water and Bambi watching over us. These stitches and dreams are for most people forgotten and thrown away to an eternal lost never to been appreciated. This furniture's destiny is to elevate and promote these neglected pieces of art, bring back a long lost sentimental value and mix it with contemporary aesthetic from Johan Lindstén."
