Description

“Scarabée à l’œuvre (Scarab at Work)” is part of the Microcosmos collection, where insects reveal universal truths. This embroidered artwork evokes the sacred beetle, a symbol of perseverance and rebirth in Antiquity. Here, it becomes a metaphor for tireless labor and the vital cycle.
Created by Satoshi Sekimoto, MOF in Haute Couture Embroidery and Master Artisan of Art, the piece combines Lunéville hook embroidery with fine needlework. Beaded and shimmering textures convey the beetle’s power and nobility, elevating it to mythic status.
A work that embodies creative strength and the universal symbolism of labor, realized through Maison Sekimoto’s exceptional craftsmanship.

Composition: Lunéville hook and needle embroidery, glass beads, sequins, silk and cotton threads, on canvas.
