Scarves For Example, 2009

For Example is a series of 75 embroidered scarves. Even though they are industrially manufactured, each of them is unique: either the colour progression of the yarn or the colour of the fabric varies.
The design for these embroidered scarves is based on the sample pieces used in embroidery training to test different motifs and stitches. In these pieces the colours are applied at random, according to the yarns or the fabric mounted on the machine beforehand.
