Spotted (and admired) on Instagram: hand-embroidered table linens from Oeuvres Sensibles in Marseille. Owner Sarah Espeute is a French artist-designer who uses “everyday imagery to tell familiar stories through functional yet aesthetically charming textiles,” as she says. Using traditional methods of embroidery, she creates personalized trompe-l’oeil table linens that “recall poetic and convivial scenes of shared meals.” Pieces are made to order and take a minimum of three weeks.
Here’s a look:
Above: The Table de Potager features antique linen and cotton hand embroidered with black cotton thread; €590. Above: The design features “four plates, one cabbage, one baguette, one butterfly, one bottle of wine, and one snail.” Above: The Table de la Mere features “four Béarn plates with two oysters, two whelks, two mussels, two clams, one crab, one baguette, and one jug”; €650.
