Description

“Mante Orchidée (Orchid Mantis)” belongs to the Microcosmos collection, where the infinitely small takes on mythical dimensions. In this embroidered artwork, the orchid mantis — an insect blending seamlessly with the flower — embodies both beauty and predation. It becomes a symbol of nature’s ambivalence, where elegance conceals strength.
Created by Satoshi Sekimoto, MOF in Haute Couture Embroidery and Master Artisan of Art, the work combines the precision of Lunéville hook embroidery with delicate needlework. Silk threads, beads, and sequins render floral fragility while highlighting the insect’s latent power.
A piece exploring the boundary between grace and danger, elevated through Maison Sekimoto’s exceptional craftsmanship.

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