Affresco Embroidery By Dea Linens

Dea offers matchless hand embroideries made entirely in its Tuscan workshops. Embroidery is an ancient art that has always enhanced linens and home furnishings, handwork that the company has managed to maintain and pass on internally. Dea’s great skill also arises from knowing how to “compose” their embroideries using various techniques to create elaborate designs and a shimmering surface, always guaranteeing an extraordinarily delightful product. The satin or long-and-short stitch is a flat-stitch variant and is part of a series of traditional Italian embroidery stitches. Different colors of yarns are used for the satin stitch, whose various lengths are arranged irregularly to ensure that the play of tone-on-tone color creates particular chromatic transitions. This stitch is so named because the dense stitches of silky polychrome yarns cover the background fabric entirely, creating a glossy effect similar to that of painted satin. With the AFFRESCO Collection, embroidery acquires a particularly modern look thanks to the distinctive, highly stylized design that frames the shapes and emphasizes the beauty of the fabrics.
