Cross Stitch, one of the most seasoned
manifestations of hand embroidery known today,
dates back to around A.D 500. Seeking
inspiration, contemporary designers have explored
this antediluvian and come up with the most
ingenious derivatives that not only look good but
also put forth extremely voguish statements.

Cross-stitch embroidery on unconventional
materials, like wood and metal, has changed the
rather straightforward looking furniture and home
embellishments into extremely imaginative and
snazzy compositions, challenging the limits of
this traditional embroidery. That being said,
cross-stitch, has traversed a cross over journey
expanding from traditional fabrics to the world
of furniture and fashion.

debonair impression. Irish design studio,

utilitarian use of this stitch.

  impression.
• The 16th-centurys Italian lace, fired the
  creative imagination of U.K. designer Imogan
  Luddy, who then crafted the stainless steel,
  cross-stitch handmade table that has no thread
  work, rather it simply has laser-cut cross-molded
  gaps that bear the impression of antique lace and
  appears very contemporary.
