Description

“Promesse de papillon (Promise of a Butterfly)” belongs to the Microcosmos collection, which explores the metamorphoses of life. In this embroidered artwork, the suspended caterpillar embodies expectation, imminent transformation, and the fragility of the moment. It becomes a symbol of hope and rebirth, a prelude to the butterfly’s brilliance.
Created by Satoshi Sekimoto, MOF in Haute Couture Embroidery and Master Artisan of Art, the work combines Lunéville hook embroidery with needlework delicacy. Silk threads, beads, and sequins evoke the subtle tension between stillness and future motion.
A contemplative, poetic piece elevated through Maison Sekimoto’s exceptional craftsmanship.

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